tragic story over the fourth of july weekend
i had a good time over the fourth of july i did a lot of the normal things
many people do it you can't have a cookout you go swimming
maybe there's fireworks and sadly
seven-year-old brendan mackey
was hoping to take in some fireworks use with his father
this was in virginia at the uh... in the brand urmila community swift creek
reservoir
just hanging out waiting for fireworks
when all the sudden he falls to the ground
and it turns out now police believe that little brendan seven-year-old brendan
was hit by a bullet that had been fired into the air
by some kind of
fourth of july
celebration i mean no one else to call it people apparently liking to just
fired guns into the air because
freedom and america or something like that
he was just as sweet
kid
according to
jupe to brennan's mom police have asked for information from anyone who has any
idea who was firing guns into the air so far nobody's come forward ought the in
that the this is obviously horrible lewis
we hear about the story is not that infrequently but the one of the most
horrible aspect of it for me
you know
somebody knows who was firing guns into the air there there's this is only
within a few mild radius of where this happened this is not a huge area
a lot of people know each other it's a relatively small town area
somebody isn't coming forward or at least hasn't come forward yet
and that's the part that i find of horrifying about this and hopefully that
that'll change
i doubt they will it shouldn't be that hard to figure out arm
i'm sure they'd figured out what type of all it is
they've probably regarded termined how far that have a booking travel from that
the type of granite it comes out of and then you look at elevation you find a
higher higher ground where people will probably firing his prime uh... and it's
pretty much impossible to kill someone by firing a gun charade uh... into the
air because the terminal velocity of the small rounds
is is not enough
kill someone
someone was firing not straight up into the air
uh... and that once again is just
incompetence and negligence and the stupid stupid gun owner are one of the
many
and and we're still just firing guns to celebrate
celebrate the fourth of july what about his you know ca cook
cook some reintroduce some there's gotta be some other way to get some kind of
satisfaction from the fourth of july
that doesn't involve randomly firing guns which now have that led to the
death of a seven year old kid who is just going to see fireworks is just
unbelievable
and by the way
do we not have astrid belief in science to understand that when you do fire the
bullet it comes down somewhere do we do we still not know that lewis
uh... there you know i'm willing to bet that the lot of people in this country
are to where back um...
but you know what pala firing blanks why can't you just do that yeah i mean what
you'll still get the noise may be many blanks are a better solution for some
people absolutely horrifying and i hope we hear
accrue with the perpetrator was soon
