Damn that is terrible. I could not imagine living with that. A girl I knew got shot after school hours. She wasn't the target but was in the way so she got hit 8 times in the abdomen at 10 foot distance, because some dumb ass was willing to kill someone over $40. I really don't understand how people can be more selfish. She was in two of my classes and both my teachers were really broken up by that. So were the classmates. It really opens your eyes to how fast life can be taken.
I also witnessed a guy shoot him self in the head when I was on a photography shoot for my photography class. It was the most fucked thing. Police showed up the whole 9 yards. Then they took me to counseling for a few weeks to make sure I was doing ok after seeing the incident.
