This article was found in the LA Times, and was written by Sam Quinones, Richard Winton and Hailey Branson-Potts.A man wearing a white tank top was walking in the famous intersection of Vine and Sunset on a Friday morning. He was holding a pistol in his right hand, and also has a knife equipped with him too. He was shooting at random vehicles as they were passing by. Sadly, as a man in a Mercedes was driving on Sunset, he was shot in his jaw. He was rushed to the hospital and is in critical condition. Many did not believe the situation, and others were braking their cars immediately so they would escape the bullets of the armed man. The suspect was a twenty-six year old man but his name has not been revealed yet. He was shot twice by two different officers, and laid in the middle of the street for several hours.
This news is unbelievable because I never thought such terrible acts could be committed. An innocent man driving down Sunset was shot! We are all very lucky that this man was shot down before he could have done more harm to the people. I chose this article because I have never heard of such a thing happen in Hollywood. I could say that I am terrified because the event occurred only minutes away from our school. Vine is a street i regularly pass because I eat Chipotle there with my friends. Now, every time I pass that street it will remind me of this scary man that went on a shooting rampage.
