Top News #4

After reading the news this week, the one that caught my eye was "Shotgun fired into Hayward classroom full of preschoolers, parents, no one injured".  The Hayward police say that a man fired shits into a classroom full of preschoolers and parents on a Friday. The kids were in the middle of a reading program when the shots were fired. While the shots were a close counter, the police believe that the school was not the target. After the shooting, the gunman jumped into a stolen car that was being driven by another man.

This story is appalling to me because of the stories that are already out there like Columbine. This story has all of its news values. The impact of this incident brings out dislike and hatred of people who think life is so easily to be taken away. The immediacy of this story is within the last 24 hours and since Hayward is only 30 minutes away, proximity playas a big role too.
