The latest news really
shocked me this week--- A gunman shot and killed another man
who is a teaching assistant Tuesday inside Purdue University's electrical
engineering building during class time, spurring worried students to scramble
into the bitter cold outside for safety.
As I know, in America, almost
300 peoples die from shooting in average everyday and some of the shooting
accidents happen on campus. Everyone could have their own gun. Just like CNN
iReporter Jeff Ooms, who works a few blocks away from what's known as the EE
Building and went to the scene at the first time said that you hear about
school shootings all the time, but you never expect it to happen where you live,
everyone was just confused and shocked. In this shooting accidents, the suspect
is Cody Cousins, a 23-year-old student in Purdue's college of engineering who
now is "booked on a preliminary charge of murder," according to the
police chief. Nobody knew why a college student from famous university killed
his teaching assistant in such a cruel way.
The coincidence is one of
my high school classmates was taking her class in that classroom when this
accident happened, she was still suffering from the shock in telephone. I can’t
imagine what a terrible when she witnesses this accident. She told me a man rushed
into the classroom and then shot their teaching assistant’s head for six times.
Her brain was a blank except scream and shot. It was the most bloody scenes she
had ever seen before.
I think gun has been a
serious problem for American society because each citizen has the right to own
their gun whoever he is. Life is the most precious thing and
campus should be the safest place in many people’s eyes. But the fact is not
just as we wishes. Life and health are fundamental rights for citizens, if
government even cannot protect the life of students on campus, how about the
other rights for citizens? So in my opinion, strengthen gun control which can
protect people from gun violence is imperative to government of the United
States!
