    The headline: 3 teens were killed and 1 was injured in a Philadelphia mass shooting. 2 teen boys have been arrested


    The link: 3 teens were killed and 1 was injured in a Philadelphia mass shooting. 2 teen boys have been arrested (msn.com)

    The lede: "Three teenagers – including a 14-year-old – were killed and another was injured during a shooting in Philadelphia Friday afternoon, police said.

    Philadelphia police say officers responded to a report of a shooting around 3:30 p.m. Friday in the Lawncrest neighborhood northeast of downtown Philadelphia, where they found three victims."


    The comment: Guns in the news.

    Again.

    And once more our laws, their level of enforcement, and our social programs were unable to avert this tragedy.

    Gunshot is one of the leading causes of death in those in the age range 0-19 years.*

    Guns in the news.

    Again.

    Regards, stay safe 'n well 'n un-shot.

    It’s the new guns. Older guns were more responsible and didn’t drive around looking for cheap ammo, and then start blasting in thug parties. They mostly stayed home and didn’t get out much.

    it’s a joke, guns didn’t do anything the usual suspects did.
