News Event Scavenger Hunt

Recent police shootings in Charlotte, North Carolina caused riots within the city and shockwaves nationwide. The shootings brought back memories of other notorious police shootings in recent years. I went on a search to find a student who was affected by nationwide police shootings.

“I have pretty negative feelings about police shootings,” said Morningside student Calvin Buchanan. I found Buchanan behind the book rental desk near the Spoonholder Cafe. He was more than willing to give his thoughts on these recent events.

“People in gangs with guns in the big cities get shot everyday,” says Buchanan, ” but these shootings happen too often.” He became slightly agitated by the idea, becoming angry thinking of police attacks. He believes compliant citizens don’t deserve to die. ” There are other ways to stop a possible criminal. Use a taser, or non-fatal shot.”

    You got a two-fer out of Charlotte news. What does Calvin look like (briefly). Good inclusion of dialog. Show me “slightly agitated. What does that look like?
