SEATTLE Police are investigating a deadly shooting overnight in the
International District. The gunman is still on the loose.
Friends say the latest victim was 27-year-old Mohamed Oman, a Somali
native, who moved to Seattle a few years ago.
Mohamed should have a great future ahead for him, says Hassan Diis,
a friend of the victim. He shouldn`t have this problem today. It`s a
big loss for our community, he was a great guy.
Osman is the fourth person to be killed in a shooting in Seattle this
week. Although the incidents do not appear to be related, many people
are worried.
It`s very scary when you live in the neighborhood that it happens in,
and it can happen any time, says Lisa Tsui, who lives in the
International District.
I feel scared, I do not feel safe, adds Sara Tsehaye.
On Friday, Seattle Mayor Ed Murray held a press conference and said
the only way to curb the recent gun violence is to enact more gun
control measures.
We need to engage in a rational conversation about the number of guns
that are out there in the wrong hands, he said.
Many residents agree that something needs to be done.
I can just go to Walmart, give my drivers license and possibly pick
up a semi-automatic, says Nadeem Uddin. This is ridiculous. Its the
Wild, Wild West here again.
It seems like everybody has a gun now, adds Diis. Everybody is a
potential target for damage.
But he says guns arent the only problem. He thinks the police need to
do a better job, reaching out to the different ethnic groups in the
city. He says this latest shooting could have avoided if police had
paid more attention to the problems brewing in Seattles Somali
community.
The Seattle police department doesn`t have anyone with a Somali
background representing the community, he says. You need to have
people in the community be part of the department, so there`s a mutual
trust and respect in between.
*****************
So again it is the Guns fault or the police for not being everywhere
and are already accused of using to much force. Heaven forbid it is
the Seattle liberals teachings that they are owed.
Personal responsibility is something uber liberals just don't
understand.
