This is just a shytty camera phone pic of the crime scene but I figured I'd share it with you guys before I go to sleep. My truck's across the street from the cop car.
I got off work around midnight and I probably wasn't home for more than 2 hours before my cousin tells me to come look outside at a crime scene. Apparently, the street's roped off in yellow tape (my truck's right in the middle) and there are mad police cars and an ambulance outside... :notsure:
So we're looking down the street and the cops are everywhere. They're all at a house that's about 2 houses down. All I really know about that particular house is that there are usually a lot of little kids in front of it and my nieces go down there to play sometimes.
We're just watching the cops when a car pulls up in front of the tape and stops really fast. A man and a woman get out and the woman's screaming "WHAT HAPPENED? DID SOMETHING HAPPEN?" to the cops...
...two officers walk down with another guy who seems to be related to the woman b/c she knows him. She's trying to ask him what happened and he seems too choked up to say. The cops are trying to calm her down and say they'll explain once she stops yelling.
The family member goes "They were playing. TJ and (I couldn't hear) were playing with the guns...and...it went off."
Her: "Is he dead? What HAPPENED?! Oh MY GOD! WHAT HAPPENED? IS HE DEAD?!"
Him: "He's dead."
Brehs....
This woman completely broke down. Completely.
The guy that got out the car with her didn't even attempt to comfort her b/c he knew (and we knew) that there was absolutely NO way. It was honestly like watching someone's soul leave their body.
She collapsed against the car and started weeping hysterically
.....started pacing and sat in our driveway...just sobbing uncontrollably. It almost didn't seem real.
I felt like I was watching a movie. This woman's heart was broken and it just seemed too tragic for me to digest as real life. I was just numb and silent, watching and trying to put myself in her shoes. I couldn't...
Might have been the saddest thing I've ever seen in my life, man. I wanted to shed a tear for her. From what I gather, there were kids playing with a gun and I guess it went off and killed one of them. Most of the kids that I've seen in that house couldn't have even been in their teens. I'm not sure exactly which kid was shot though (b/c I never knew their names.)
Just as sad was that after a little while, we watched as the cops escorted a bunch of little kids out of the house. I'm talking SMALL children, man. They had to see that shyt and be in that house with the body when it happened.
You hear about things like this all the time. You see it in movies. You see commercials. There's been all this talk about gun control & gun safety...and I've never really been an advocate for or against it. I've always been the type to see things both ways and I don't even know if this'll change my opinion but it's WILD to see the negative side so up-close & personal.
My nieces were literally playing with those kids last Saturday. A week later, one of them is dead. They haven't experienced death yet. They're only 6 & 7.
shyt's surreal.
If I get more details later on, I'll post them. This is here in Detroit on the westside (Puritan & Greenfield area for my Detroit brehs).
..and for all of you people on here with children. Hug them tight this weekend or whenever you see them.
Lock up your guns, man...
