2 People Shot On Septa's Market-Frankford Line Train

The article "2 People Shot On Septa's Market-Frankford Line Train" writing by my fox philly is about a arguement about a 76ers game, which soon then lead to a man getting shot. In the article it says, " two teenagers began joking with a 35-year- old man over sports teams, but it soon turned into argument."
  While on the train the two teens where having a conversation with a man, but then it turned in an arugument, and when they started to arugue another passenger from the train stepped in to try to calm everything down. In the article it says, " When the teens- described as being about 17- and 19 years- old- started using profanity, the older man told them to watch theor lanuage. Another 30-year-old man chimed in, telling the group to calm down." Things eventually did calm down.
   Things calmed down on the train, the shooting didn't occur until after the train stopped. "As the teens exited the train at 46th street, one of them turned around and fired one shot through the still open doors onto the train. the 35-year-old man wearing the jersey was shot in the stomach, the bullet went through his back and hit the other man in the leg." The police weren't called until the train pulled off to continue to 52nd street.
   
  This is a sad thing to talk about. People and children are losing their lives over things that are not irrelavent. The only good thing about talking about this is that no other passengers were harmed and that the men who where shot in the stomach and leg they survived. Now and days people are killing just to kill, they don't have a reason to pull the trigger. The genaration of these children is rediculous. If people not getting shot they getting kidnapped, if not that then they are being jumped or bullied at school. Why should people live there life in fear because the people around them want to act like they live with no sense.
   I fear walking outside of my door, or to go to the store because people that are around me or that live in my community make me live in fear. I wish i could sit outside my my little brother or sister and not have to worry about getting shot in a drive-by or taking them to the park and not have to worry about being snatched.
Recently there was to teenagers who were shot while sitting on the porch. Come on now, why are people getting shot while sitting on a porch. There are to many children getting shot and or dying. No mother or father should have to bury their child.

  1. Obviously, this type of violence is unacceptable. Keep in mind though, that your generation (at least in terms of murders) is less violent than in the past. The peak of murders in Philadelphia was back in 1990. The murder rate has mostly gone down since then. 95
