Current Event: Attack in Belarus Shopping Center
                Today there was an attack in a shopping center in Minsk, Belarus, where a girl was killed. A 17 year old boy in the shopping center carried in a guitar case with a chainsaw and an ax and attacked two girls in the shopping center. One of the two girls was killed, and the attacker threatened many other civilians. The 17 year old boy has been arrested, but he refuses to tell the police why he attacked the girls.
                It’s so scary that someone so young killed someone with a chainsaw in the middle of a completely normal place where hundreds of people go every day. The two girls were probably just minding their own business and then out of nowhere this tragedy happened. I’m curious as to why the boy killed the girl, and why he used a chainsaw, because that’s just so scary.

  1. This is such a horrifying event to occur at a shopping center where people are just minding their own business and going about their every-day lives. I'm shocked that something so brutal happened to two innocent young girls who were just having fun. My heart goes out to their families.

  2. I agree with you. The thought that someone can just walk into a place that I go very often is very scary. This makes me more conscious about my surroundings.

  3. I wonder how abrupt the situation was, do you think there was time to prevent this from happening? I agree with Tori, people go to shopping centers to enjoy themselves and have fun, we should not have to worry about being attacked.

  4. This is terrible! They definitely need better protection in public places like that and to make sure that the boy is ok mentally. Sometimes people do crazy things for other reasons.
