Top three most note worth news experiences

At the top of my list was a media coverage of a homicide in Minneapolis, MN.  It was the headlining news for that day. A man had stabbed his wife over 70 times and threatened the lives of his step-daughter and biological daughter. The man is now facing life in prison who zero chance of parole. This new flash had consisted of unthinkable behavior and details that could do with out mentioning. I had been working at a children's shelter when the homicide occurred. Later that same week we had an intake of a young girl who had lost both of her parents. One to death and the other to imprisonment. She was the daughter of the woman brutally murdered. 

The second note worthy news I had encountered was on the front page of the Star Tribune. There was an eye catching article of a man that had "unintentionally" killed his 1+ year old step-son due to excessive battering. This article stated that the baby had been beaten and severely injured over the course of several months. The baby was living with fractured bones, including his ribs and collar bone and a broken back. The man who pleaded guilty to the boys death was charged with involuntary man slaughter. His punishment to this crime was 2 + years in prison and an unspecified time spent on parole. I didn't agree with the sentence given considering there are crimes less heinous and more time spend in the prison system. This article hit home for me because I, myself, have a son 16 months old.  He is the age where wrongdoing is unknown and cannot be punished with such severity.

The third news article I encountered, was an incident I could relate to. In fact, witness with my ears. There was recently, within the last two months, a shooting in South Minneapolis near Columbus and 31st.  I was working an overnight at the children's shelter when the sound of gun shots rippled though the air. My first thoughts were fire works and the ongoing excitement of Independence Day. After the sounds became more clear my thoughts were immediately disrupted by the screams of people, then sirens telling me help is on the way. All I could think to do was close the curtains and tuck my head under the blankets. Thankfully all shelter clients and staff were safe. It was reported to have possibly been gang related. I have not worked an overnight shift since the time of the incident.
