Huntington Story

As 53 year old Janice Jones was eating, her dog knocked a 9 mm handgun onto the ground that discharged with contact of the floor, sending a bullet through her leg.

 Jones lives in Barstow, California in a motor home was parked on Beach Boulevard near Highway 1 when the accident occurred.
“Jones was shot in the right leg around 10 p.m.” California Highway Patrol press liaison Tammy Rye said. “It could have been worse. The bullet hit two inches from the gas tank.”

Jones was taken to Huntington Beach Hospital immediately, but later moved to Irvine Medical Center.

"Jones has been taken into Huntington Beach Hospital to be treated for her injuries," hospital spokesperson Jim Washington said.

 Jones' dog, Tombo, was taken in by the Huntington Beach Animal Control officers.

 "The dog seemed malnourished and had fresh cigarette burns on his forehead," animal control officer Janet Ngo said.

 Ngo says that her office will likely explore filing animal abuse charges against Jones.

“It could've done with a little less abuse and a few more of those pork chops,” Ngo said. 

Along with possible abuse, Jones was cited for expired plates and not having a permit for her gun.

"The county’s district attorney’s office is considering whether to charge her in relation to the gun accident," Rye said. "Jones doesn’t have a permit for the gun."

The lead sentence did make me want to keep reading because I had heard about the event and wanted to learn more. The conclusion was a quote. Commentary- Arming teachers is not the solution  The story is about Donald Trump's suggestion that teachers should be amed with guns in response to the recent shootings that have occurred. The author completely disagrees and believes it will only add to the issue by burdening teachers with too much responsibility, adding more dangerous aspe

Free Write - Embarrassment

Settled in after a long day, I finally got the chance to lay down and relax. I shut out the sound of the TV downstairs as my eyes began to slowly close, my exhaustion taking over. My mind takes me back to third grade. Mrs. Grance’s class was generally a good class, but there were definitely some bad days consisting of the kids not getting along or the teacher being way too intense for third graders to handle. In second grade, one of my closer friends was named Atticus, who now is a freshman at Bowie too. Being young, we were still very childish, so messing with each other was an every day occurrence. Sometimes we took our play a little too far, but I never minded, it was all fun and games. One day, we were completing an assignment that required teacher approval along the way, which meant that people were walking to and from their seats to our teacher a lot. For some reason, Atticus was laying down and working on the “class carpet” at the front of the room, so when I would go up to
