Gunman on the loose

About three hours ago a man by the name of Sang Ho Kim is on the loose after a deadly office shooting in NY. The gunman killed one person and wounded another. Apparently he was in a bad business deal. They say he fled in a 2008 Honda Pilot and as of now is still being tracked by the FBI. The shooting has caused schools to close and the Roosevelt Field mall is on lockdown. Once again there is another shooting. Why are there so many shootings going on in our society. It's like your hear about a shooting each day and there's really nothing we can do. I fell that it has been a problem for many years and there hasn't been a solution. I just don't know.

Today we will be talking about the shooting that took place in Washington D. C. earlier this week. It all started when the navy tweeted that shots were fired at 8:20 on monday. Officers say the gunman went into the building and took a shotgun into the bathroom to get ready. Then he first shot an officer below him and took his gun. Then he would go on to kill 12 more people. !2 people died at the scene and the other died at the hospital. He was then comfronted by the police and was also killed on the scene. What I don't understand is why so many people are going to places and killing so many people. There have been a lot of shhoting in the past couple of years and we don't really know what to do. They are seriously thinking about arming teachers! I feel that is a crazy idea just because they could get really mad at a student and shoot them or something like that. We just don't know what to do.

This week we will talk about Americans. 1 and 5 Americans are unable to buy food. This is once again bringing up issues such as poverty in America and the homeless of America. We just can't find an answer to these problems. These issues have been problems for many years now and most people don't seem to care about it. People don't realize there are starving and there are people that don't have the money to pay for food. I feel like we need to address this problem to the public to get it into their thick skulls. If you do the math, there are about 60 million people that can't afford food. That number is probably going to continue to rise if we don't do something. So I all think we should.

Yosemite fire

In e past couple of weeks there has been a very large forest fire that has inflamed a very popular national park. This national park is known as Yosemite nation park. Firefighters have been at work for a long time trying to contain the fire. As of now, 80% of the fire has been contained. Here are some interesting facts about the forest fire: over 4,300 firefighters are at work trying to clear the fire, 111 structures have been destroyed including 11 homes, and it ignited an illegal marijuana farm. The nearby fire department has not found a cause of the fire. The fire has burned 370 acres of land for the past 18 days. It's the fourth biggest forest fire in California history. We don't know when the fire is going to stop, but it looks like its coming to an end soon.

Syria

Hello once again, last week we talked about the events going on is Egypt. This week we will talk about something that has caught my intrest a lot more than Egypt. That would be the violence in Syria. I've seen so much news about because of all the predictions and attacks that might happen. As of now, president Obama has asked congress to give the go for the use of missiles against Syria. If this happens, we could be looking at another war possibly even another world war. We just don't know until someone makes a move. I feel it's best that we should leave Syria alone for now because we should let them work out their problems. Plus It could keep tensions down between the U.S., Russia, and China. I don't think war is the answer right now because we already have enough foreign and domestic problems. But that's just my opinion and the real power of the U.S. might have different ideas.
