Another shocking instance of insane gun use has emerged from America.
Two children, who with others had been throwing snowballs at passing cars, have been shot and injured by the driver of one of the cars, a white Toyota. The incident happened in a neighbourhood north of downtown Milwaukee, in the US state of Wisconsin.
One of the snowballs hit the motorist's Toyota and the driver then opened fire. A 12 year old girl and a 13 year old boy were taken to hospital following the shooting on Saturday.
The city's police department tweeted:
It is difficult to imagine how anyone could consider using a lethal weapon as a response to a snowball being thrown at a car to be the right think to do.
And yet, many comments on a news story I found online actually support the shooter!
To be fair, there were some who were ready to criticise the shooter.
However, the fact that anyone can suggest that shooting children for throwing snowballs is simply staggering.
Apparently, no arrests have yet been made and police are appealing for information.
