I couldn’t believe this day was finally here. I would get my high school diploma and get out of this town forever. I was finally going to get the chance that I had been waiting for so many years. I was going to start a brand new life, someplace away from here, where no one knew me. As my mind was lost in plans of the future, I tuned out my surroundings, until, a loud noise snapped me out of my thoughts.
I jumped and screamed my lungs out. Who was crazy enough to bring fireworks to an indoor event like this? That was my first thought.
But things took a turn for the worse as the sound repeated itself over and over. Suddenly, it registered in my mind. “Gun shots!” I screamed, my entire body spasmming and jerking with each shot. How many were

I didn’t even know if anyone had called the police. They should have been here by now, shouldn’t they?
As I took a step back, someone slammed into me, making me fall on my face. A sharp pain lanced the side of one of my legs and I whimpered. When I lifted my head, I saw the back of Mr. Moller’s head. He was walking around as if he owned the place and showing his true colors. No doubt the shooting had unhitched him, or could he be the shooter?
I knew it! I thought terrified. The guy was a killer. From the first time I entered his classroom, I knew there was something terribly wrong with him. His vive was that of a sociopath with a hidden agenda. I tried to stay away from him as much as possible, but being friends with Jenna, the outcast girl of the school, that was impossible. He was out to get us both kicked out of the school for questionable reputations.
I slowly got to my feet. My leg was really hurting, but I didn’t want to look down for fear of what I would find.
I heard Jenna’s dad call for her and heard her frivolous mother expressing her concerns for Jenna’s boyfriend.
My mouth twisted in dislike. She was such a cold hearted woman. I couldn’t stand her, yet again, I could hardly stand
"Where are you going at this time of day?" she shouted. "Playing hooky, I suppose. I'll just call the principal and tell him!" She looked like the ugliest thing I had ever seen. Oh, did I ever hate her.
The article describes a scene in Cleveland, Ohio where Cleveland police responds to an emergency call of multiple gunshots being fired and possible victims being wounded. Officers arrive at the scene of the crime only find that the victim was hit and was driving away from the scene. Nevertheless, the victim is found a few blocks away with multiple gunshot wounds, later
Gunshots rang into the air, pulsating my eardrums like a grenade had just exploded beside me. At that moment, I heard a thump 10 feet behind me, I knew that Saad was not going to make it.
When it was my turn to shoot I felt the rough texture of my gun as I lifted it up. Looking down the barrell and steadying it out, taking a deep breath in. Then I yelled pull as I observed and followed the orange clay target that flew up in the sky. I squeezed the trigger when I was right in front of the clay target hearing the loud bang go off. As the shot went off the shell had sent many soaring pellets into the air. The target had shattered in a thousand small pieces as though its life had just ended. I lowered the gun and smelled all the smoke that had been released. At that point I realised that ear plugs were as needed as much as oxygen was.
For the first few moments it was silent, then people started spraying paintballs into the forest, I was forced to run behind a tree so to avoid getting lit up like a fish in a barrel. The moment i ducked behind the tree it was hit at least 15 times and by that point I was freaking out, there was literally nowhere to go and I hadn't expected it to be so ruthless, so as I sat there sweating bullets and listening to the paintballs slamming into the tree with loud cracks I started feeling that survival instinct that people get when in a fight or flight situation. I decided to go with the smarter option, I dove behind the nearest board then peeked up and started spraying paintballs into the forest. Anything that moved I shot at furiously, and for a while whoever had been shooting at me backed off a bit in surprise for a bit, but had no other choice but to keep on shooting back. We kept on going back and forth this way for about fifteen minutes when whoever it was stopped shooting and I knew that they were changing positions and that it was probably only one other person that I was up against, I checked my hopper and found that it was a
Gunshots, car crashes, fighting and death. This is how a night of riding downtown and enjoying a night
I'm surrounded by gun fire. Women and children are screaming while men fight for their lives. I look around and all I see is destruction. Burning buildings with their pillars of smoke swirling into the night, people bleeding on the ground; looking death in the face, and people running from bullets that fly by them.
I noticed much of what I was standing sitting on was a metal slab with a glass covering, and something other than my muscles respond. My arms were gas, fluffy and full of nothing, yet there was power behind them. I touched a cool glass willing it to open, when it shattered amidst the rumbling.
“If you want to, take him now” So I pulled the trigger and my gun went boom. And my ears were starting to ring. all I saw was a cloud of smoke. As I was leaning forward for the kick of
8:50 am, and was shouted at by Mrs Robinson. It was 23rd June 2000. I
Kane turned around to face me as he put his jacket on. Well, I was heading over to the gun range. Would you like to join me? I was surprised when I said. A gun ranges. What do you need with guns? He started to laugh. They kind of come in handy when you’re on the road by yourself. I like to have one just in case. He walked over to the sink in the corner and turned the water on to wash his hands. Are you telling me that you don’t have a gun? I quickly laughed. No. I do know how to shoot one. For me there is no reason for me to own one. At that second, I thought to myself that even when I worked at the jail, I didn’t own one then either. There was no towel by the sink so when Kane was finished washing his hands he started to wave his hands in the air. Noticing
I love to shoot guns. My family has a lot of guns invested in them. I don’t use them to kill animals. I shoot for fun only. I could never kill an animal for no reason. There is really no reason. I set up targets of people at my property and just blaze away. Sometimes I might go to my friends house and go shooting out in the woods. It’s a fun sport. I enjoy it a lot.
Gunshots occasionally filled the air and seemed to wake me every time I peacefully fell asleep. This was repeated three times until I looked out my window. There was an ambulance parked outside my window. There was a man on a stretcher with blood on his head being loaded in.
Shooting guns can be a relaxing and fun experience for the avid shooter. To new
It was the second semester of fourth grade year. My parents had recently bought a new house in a nice quite neighborhood. I was ecstatic I always wanted to move to a new house. I was tired of my old home since I had already explored every corner, nook, and cranny. The moment I realized I would have to leave my old friends behind was one of the most devastating moments of my life. I didn’t want to switch schools and make new friends. Yet at the same time was an interesting new experience.
