The shooting at a Super Bowl parade in Kansas City left many children wounded, with two individuals charged in connection with the gunfire being under 18. The incident, which resulted in one fatality and 22 injuries, shed light on the pervasive issue of gun violence in the United States, with authorities revealing that the suspects involved were also young. The shooting, while making global headlines due to its timing and location, underscored the all-too-familiar prevalence of guns and violence in the country.
Witnesses in San Diego County have described "young" suspects involved in a series of overnight armed robberies at gas stations and convenience stores. The suspects, believed to be between 10 and 15 years old, have been rotating in for the various hold-ups. Experts suggest that a lack of supervision and exposure to violence may contribute to their behavior, and warn that the group is unlikely to stop due to the adrenaline rush and success they are experiencing. San Diego Police believe these crimes may be linked to other recent armed robberies, and express concern that the situation could escalate and result in tragedy.
