About half the community killed in a deadly mass shooting in this dome. As we stand here in this ceremony joined by victims and community with points of light shining in the darkness. In this place that this horrific scene occurred. As we hear over the loudspeakers “I don’t believe that this insane team of monsters, should have ever been able to obtain a firearm”. The ceremony ended and I get a flashback of a message that was sent to me before I knew that this war and mass shooting had occurred. The message reads people are being shot in my room and dying. My jaw hit the ground. From then on I didn’t know if my sister was dead or alive. I never thought this would happen to me as a sister. We are still placed at the ceremony and an object came out of nowhere goes BANG! And again. “WE ARE BEING BOMBED ON, RUN”. The bomb hit like a lightning bolt from the sky, dangerous, rare with the fact that you don’t see them often and fast when it strikes.

    Ever since the inception of this country 240 years ago, guns have been an integral part of the American identity; a sense of lawlessness, individualism, personal autonomy and freedom. They were the tools that liberated us, and gave us independence over a tyrannical, unrepresentative empire. However, in more recent years, these tools have been used more and more frequently in mass shootings, some of which are occurring at schools, targeting teachers and children.

Daniel Shaver was an unarmed man fatally shot for no good reason. He was complying with the police officers orders and was begging for his life, screaming “please don’t shoot,” before he was fatally shot 5 times.
