As time passes, the number of shootings increase and the age of the shooter seems like its decreasing. On Sunday, a fifteen year old boy managed to get his hands on a gun and kill two adults and brutally abuse three children and kill them. Police are trying to determine the reason or connection of the victims to the shooter but are coming up short. No names are being revealed, but the boy is charged with two cases of murder and another three cases of child abuse that led to death. What could have caused this young boy who has his whole life ahead of him to ruin it with a gun? And why did he believe that it was acceptable for a fifteen year old, basically a child, to take the life of someone, let alone five people. Some would blame it on television or violent video games, but I find that untrue because many teenagers watch and play violent games, and do not run along shooting random people walking on the street. Parents and the fact that there are guns that could be easily accessible are to blame. Parents should take responsibility for their children and maybe pay a little more attention to what their kids are doing. Obviously it would have saved lives in this boys case.
