1/25/2014 Gun Violence

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!
