 .... this method of suicide is commonly used by:

• those who are afraid of personally taking their own life,

• those who have committed a crime and don't want to face incarceration.

Just Another Little Gun Incident

A six-year-old African-American boy has shot Abigail Zwerner, a teacher at Richneck Elementary School, with a hand gun in the town of Newport News in the US state of Virginia last Friday ......

.... in what police confirmed was not "an accidental shooting", while the teacher was giving a lesson. There was no confrontation between the boy and teacher who was left with life-threatening injuries but who bravely escorted all of her other students out of the classroom after she was shot.

Write v Wrong

There have been 11 US school shootings between the 1st of January and January 28th 2018 alone. For instance a classmate opened fire outside a school in Benton, Kentucky, a town of just 4,500 residents, killing two children and injuring 11 others. The 15 year old gun child, Gabe Parker, was arrested at the scene. His mother, Mary Garrison Minyard, editor of the local Marshall County Daily Online, was one of the reporters who arrived at the school to get footage, only to find her son being taken in to custody .... the prosecutors want to try him as an adult.

Saint To Sinner .... Killer

Anywhere else that dead and injured figure alone, would cause lawmakers to act .... instead it wasn't even the headline news on most national news channels.
