Domestic Violence & Guns


When does it end?


Today is Wednesday, April 14th my sister 53th birthday a day of joy and celebration for my family, but.... NO


Just one block over from where I live on the Southwest side of Chicago a shooting accrued on the 7200 block of Mozart Street where I take my dog walking at 5am every morning. This morning as Kofi & I turned the corner the area was filled with cops, news reporters, helicopters, and the entire block taped off with yellow crime tape letting Kofi & I know that something serious has happened. I stopped to ask one the male reporters: "What happened?'

Reporter: " There was a domestic violence shooting in the home of 7248 and 4 people was killed."


That shook me up a a little, because I've lived on Francisco for 15 years, and this is the first time something like this has ever happened. I'm was shock to hear such news, because this is a day of celebration for my family, and just on the next block someone is morning the death of 4 family members. I'm stun by how close this killing is to my house & family.

So I ask:

1. Why is it so ease for people to get a gun?

2. Where or who are providing these guns?

3. Who's responsible for the cities gun control?

4. Are these guns being sold through our city police department.


What do I think? Hmmm


Pray for the victims & the person who has allegedly did this shooting.


Peace & love
