US sprinter Tyson Gay's daughter, 15, shot dead in Kentucky
Former world champion sprinter Tyson Gay's 15-year-old daughter has been killed in a shooting in the US state of Kentucky.
Police in Lexington said Trinity Gay was hit in the neck during an exchange of fire between two vehicles in a restaurant car park. She was taken to hospital where she later died, local media reported.
Mr Gay, who is from Lexington, confirmed her death to local TV station Lex 18.
"She didn't make it. I'm so confused. She was just here last week for fall break. It's so crazy. I have no idea what happened," Quoted By Tyson Gay.
I picked this story as not only is it shocking, and the fact that a relative of a highly recognised athlete was shot dead, but i chose it as it shows how things like this happen in USA and not England, also this wouldn't have happened if there were better policing and stricter rules on firearms in the US. Overall this source could be used as a comparison on the types of standards and government polices across different countries.
I like the way you included the link to the article and pictures from the article, perhaps could have added more detail.
ReplyDeleteThis piece has minimal analysis although you have outlined the story you need to put it into detail and try to compare to other weekly news articles you may have seen during the week or on a fellow class mates blog.
