Scary And Sad Coincidence ?

Almost a year to the day that Betty Pinkey was shot and killed, a young person has been shot and killed in Las Vegas while attending a late night party.
From the Las Vegas Sun: A man was shot and killed early Saturday after an altercation at a party.
Around 1:30 a.m., the man was attending a party at an apartment in the 1400 block of East Reno Avenue when the incident occurred, Metro Police Officer Laura Meltzer said in a news release.
Another man suffered a non-life-threatening gunshot wound and was taken to Sunrise Hospital, Meltzer said.
Meltzer said no suspects have been identified.  http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2013/jan/12/one-man-shot-death-second-man-injured-after-fight-/
Channel 13 News reports that the victims were young- teenagers.
This reminds me of a student who attended the school I teach at, who was murdered at a late night party on the northeast side of the Valley:  Over the weekend, a student from my school was murdered while she attended a party on the northeast side of the Las Vegas Valley.  There has been a lot of talk about the murder- by the students, some teachers and the local newspapers and television stations.
From the LVRJ today: Diana Perry plays back the worst night of her life over and over in her head, wondering "What if? What if?" as she looks at her wristband from the house party. She won't take it off. It proves the nightmare was real.
Mere moments before her 17-year-old girlfriend died in her arms from a stray bullet early Sunday, they were dancing the night away at the party. Then she was kneeling on the floor, holding the hand of Betty "Jay" Pinkney, who was squeezing tight as she convulsed and gasped for air.
Perry's other hand pressed hard on Pinkney's blood-drenched side to try to stop the spreading red.
Pinkney's good friend Amber Robertson felt for her pulse.
"I felt one heartbeat and that was it," a sobbing Robertson said Tuesday. "It was hard. She was my best friend."
Police arrived shortly after.

Hopefully, whoever was at that party yesterday will talk to the police and the cops find the shooter, unlike in Betty's case, where the kids at the party and those who knew what happened have stayed quiet for almost a year.
It will also be nice that the so-called leaders of this community, including preachers and politicians will get off their lazy fat asses and start doing something about crime in the inner city of Las Vegas.  And I hope they don't come up with the same old lines- gun control and hurting law abiding citizens.
