PLN 16

I read an article from "The Denver Post" about a Halloween party that got out of hand early this morning. There was a party in Kimberly Hills Trailer Park where dozens of people were at one house. When asked to leave, one man pulled out a gun, the owner of the house then got his own gun and returned fire. Five people were shot and injured and taken to the hospital. The police think the shootings may be gang-related because this house has been a problem before. A 15 year old boy was shot to death only a few miles away earlier that night.

This article relates to me because it really shows me hat I have to be careful when I am at parties. You have to know when to leave if you think things might get crazy. The boy who was killed was just a little bit older than me. I think that is very sad that young kids are being exposed to violence because of irresponsible people at parties. This article really made me think about how important it is to be aware of what is going on at parties and to know when to get out of there. This article relates to the world because it may cause the police to try and monitor holiday parties a little bit more when they are in bad neighborhoods. It is sad that such a young kid lost his life and I think people will try to do things to try and help.
