Arizona Congresswoman, Gabrielle Giffords, and at least a dozen more people were injured in a shooting in Tucson Arizona on Saturday. Six people are pronounced dead. The alleged shooter is in police custody with five separate pending criminal charges.
I heard about this event on the radio on my way to work on Saturday evening. My heart went out to the victims and their families, as well as the family and friends of the shooter. Immediately I knew to turn my radio to NPR to get more information on the subject.
The internet is my medium of choice when it comes to current events. I use NPR, CNN, and my local television stations websites to keep me updated on what is happening around me. Probing for The Real Truth, I found some information that could incriminate the accused shooter in court.
The accused shooter, Jared Lee Loughner, recently posted videos on Youtube.com that showcase his anger towards America, and its political policies. The information surrounding this case is playing out through the media.
New technologies play a major role in this tragic instance. The internet, television, and radio are the mediums that keep the public up to date. New technologies also assist the FBI and other investigators in finding evidence for the case.
I care deeply about the current state of our government and the American people. I pray for speedy recovery of those injured and closure for the families who lost loved ones. The Real Truth is that violence solves nothing, but instead creates more problems.
