The video from the surveillance camera is gut-wrenching. You can see the shooter chasing down one of his victims. Just moments before this footage begins, the suspect had already shot the man now running for his life, hitting him first in the arm. In those brief, terrifying moments, you witness the chaos and fear that gun violence brings into our lives.
What this video doesn’t show is what happened next: the shooter would turn his weapon on our child, opening fire. Then, in an unthinkable act of brutality, he unloaded a clip into the other victim, shooting him over three times. By the time the police arrived on the scene, the shooter had already taken his own life—a cowardly act following another cowardly act.
Gun violence isn't just something we read about in the news or see in statistics; it's real, it's brutal, and it's happening right here in our communities. This incident has forever altered our lives and serves as a grim reminder that gun violence knows no boundaries—it affects us all.
We must push for change, hold individuals accountable, and demand action from our leaders. Our communities deserve safety, and our children deserve a future free from the threat of gun violence.
