Current Events Assignment

1. The topic of my article is the recent shootings in Chicago.

 

2. The title of my article is: At least 11 people shot dead, including 11 year old boy, since late Tuesday in Chicago.

 

3.  I got this article from the Chicago Tribune.

 

4. Since Tuesday at least 11 people have been shot dead.  In addition, at least 14 others have been injured in separate shootings.  There was also an accidental shooting of an 11 year old boy, which has saddened many people.

 

5.  This event makes me feel very sad.  It also makes me angry, especially an 11 year old getting killed.  I can’t imagine how his family feels.  It is very scary that so many shootings are happening lately.  This event makes me wonder about my safety.

 

6.  This event doesn’t necessarily impact the world but it definitely impacts the US.  It also has a direct effect on Illinois.  Like many shootings lately, people have been questioning their safety.  It has also caused more debate over gun control laws, along with the Virginia shooting.  I am worried that shootings are going to begin to become more common, and I am wondering what the government is going to do about it.
