1.      What is the issue?

The issue is that a 12 year old girl has been shot in the head at her house in Manchester, England. The weapon used was a powerful weapon. This happened at 7:30 p.m. Now a 16 year old is being question as he is a suspect of the gun shooting. The girl died in the hospital. Her father survived and said that the weapon was a powerful one. Although he doesn’t remember who was the gun shooter. This shows that the world today is really dangerous. This happened in a house, showing that this things can happen anywhere and everyone must be careful. We need to do this because we are living in a dangerous world.

4.      What would you do if you were directly involved?

If I were directly involved I would try to ask people to help figure who the gun shooter is because this person might do it again. Also I would make posters saying that everyone should be careful because this could happen to anyone. The poster might prevent this happening and also people could be aware of their surroundings.
