Indian Girl's Fight Back

The first thing we talked about was the shooting in a Georgia school where a gunman opened fire with a AK-47 at an elementary school. This man was 20 years old and he fired approximately 6 shots at cops then the cops returned fire but luckily no one was hurt. 2nd we touched on a very disturbing topic, it was about this Australian baseball player who was shot and killed by 3 young teenagers at the ages of 15, 16, 17,  out of pure boredom. Next we went to a problem that effected Iowa. It was about a male that broke out of a Clarinda jail and broke into a normal families house and held them hostage for 4 hours before the home owner shot and killed him with a shotgun. Right after the inmate broke out of jail he shot a police officer and stole his cruiser and drove off. After going through all of the shooting news we watched a video on how Mark Zuckerberg's plains on spreading internet to the 5 billion people who do not have internet all over the world. He touched on the facts that it will help people give there two cents on government, heath care, etc. The final thing that we went over was the fact that Syrian was using chemical weapons.
