Gun Deaths


There was an article in the Fayetteville Observer newspaper Sunday stating that a pawn shop here in Fayetteville had seen gun sales among women jump 50% the prior week. They attributed the spike to the recent deaths of two young female soldiers, Megan Touma and Holley Wimunc. Touma,23, who was 7-months pregnant, was found dead in a Fayetteville hotel, along with a note suggesting that she was murdered by a serial killer. The Fayetteville Police Department quickly put an end to that salacious falsehood citing the note had no credence whatsoever. Nevertheless, it's evident that panic ensued in Fayetteville households, probably among those headed by single mothers or army wives whose husbands are deployed.

I wonder if the newspaper will report on the spike of gun-shot wounds or deaths among children that occur in the next 2-5years? And here is the rest of it.
