Shooting Spree Leaves 4 Dead in Memphis and Paralyzes City

Posted at 9:04 am under Uncategorized

Yesterday september 7th a group of mass shootings took place in memphis and lead to the death of 4 people and injuring 3 more. authorities on a feverish police manhunt that effectively closed down Tennessee’s second-largest city until the police announced late Wednesday night that they had captured the 19 year old kid. 

The shooter Ezekiel Kelly, was expected to face numerous felony charges and was being taken to jail to be formally booked. So while he was released he thought it was a good idea to take to facebook live and began to shoot up several places around memphis. He proceeded to wreck his car and then pull a woman out of her car at gun point and take her car and continue the shooting and it was found out that the mayor said that “he was sentenced to three years in prison after pleading guilty to a lesser charge, aggravated assault, but served only 11 months and was released from prison in March. If Mr. Kelly served his full three-year sentence, he would still be in prison today and four of our fellow citizens would still be alive” it kind of crazy how the justice system works and how easy it is to get out of serious charges.

    More than enough for summary, Braeden. You need to also include critique. What do you think of the lead? I would say it’s too long.

    What is the news value? Maybe currency, since mass shootings are trending. Or maybe human interest because of the prison sentence.
