My Current Readings #2

My reading today was found on kare11.com and the name of this article is "Police say Fridley star football player shot by friend." Written by Renee Tessman. An 18 year old, Emmanuel Bartuoh was a football star, being asked by division one schools to play. It was a Friday night, before 7:30 that he was shot. He was at his cousins house watching high school football when his friend showed up with a gun. This friend directed the gun at the little kids and Emmanuel told him to put it down, his friend pulled the trigger and shot Emmanuel in the chest. This friend stayed at the scene and admitted to his shooting, he was crying, saying he wasn't aware there was a bullet in his gun. Emmanuel's sister couldn't believe her eyes. She's so torn up about this she doesn't know right from left. The friend is in the Anoka County Jail and is to be charged with second degree manslaughter. I have extra thoughts for this family this week, suffering a dear loved one's death for no real reason. If I were a part of Emmanuel's family I would question this "Friend" of his until he couldn't handle it anymore. If he didn't know there was a bullet in it, why would he be pointing the gun in the first place? Just to be scary? This accident brings so many questions and emotions. Best wishes for Emmanuel Bartuoh's family.
