This is really sad.
From the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:
A teenage girl was shot once in the leg Wednesday night by the owner of a north side grocery store following a confrontation inside the business, said Milwaukee police Lt. Thomas Welch.
The shooting took place about 7:30 p.m. outside Friendly Foods, near N. 22nd and W. Center streets, Welch said.
...The store's owner, a 39-year-old man, was taken into custody after the shooting.
The girl was in good condition at a hospital, Welch said.
Police had yet confirmed her date of birth, but Welch said she was either 13 or 14 years old.
Unless the girl had a gun and was about to shoot the store owner, what possible reason could the store owner have had for shooting the girl?
What kind of confrontation would prompt a 39-year-old man to fire a gun at a 13- or 14-year-old girl?
This is insane.
Does anyone care?
Are we so desensitized to this stuff?
