“During this past year, I had a personal experience with gun violence…I was in bed, half asleep. Suddenly out of nowhere gun shots were fired – BANG! BANG! Scared, I looked outside the window and saw the street light beaming down on a pool of blood…I feel that violence is not necessary, and it should stop. I want to tell people to stop because if I have kids in the future, I don’t want them to have this experience or get killed.”
