Summer Violence: Child Shoots Another Child on Playground


Summer violence is on the rise all across the country...
"Prince George’s County Police say a five-year-old boy shot a four-year-old boy on a playground in the 4400 block of 23rd Parkway in Hillcrest Heights.

Police are still trying to figure out where the five-year-old boy was able to access the gun. They believe he found it in the home, but don't know whose gun it is.

Police say the bullet passed right through the upper part of the four-year-old’s torso.

Ebony Webb says she was there when the four-year-old boy ran into his apartment after he was shot. She called 911 and helped clean the wound. Officials transported the four-year-old to Children’s Hospital. Authorities say the gunshot wound is not life-threatening." read more - via MyFoxDC

It would not take a
psychology degree online
to see that such an event would have a
profound effect on the life of each child.
Hopefully they will have some highly educated people in
their lives to guide them successfully through this.

Not Again?!: Walmart Shooting Leaves 1 Dead


A shooting at a Walmart left one person dead and two sheriff's deputies wounded Sunday afternoon, a Washington state sheriff said.
Kitsap County Sheriff Steve Boyer told the Kitsap Sun that the two deputies and another person were being taken to a Tacoma hospital. Tacoma General Hospital spokeswoman Marce Edwards said three people had arrived at the hospital but she could provide no further information, including their conditions.
The incident began at about 3:45 p.m. and few details were known, including what sparked the shootings, Boyer said.
Witness Victor Meyers told KOMO-TV that the first shot was followed by six more in rapid succession.
"I heard one shot, which I thought was a car backfiring, and then several more reported back, which I knew to be gunfire," Meyers said.
He said he saw a female deputy running toward a victim on the ground before he and other witnesses were hustled from the scene.
The store was immediately locked down, and customers weren't being allowed to leave.
"No one is allowed in or out until further notice by police," customer Mike Lambert told KIRO-TV by phone from inside the store.
