Blog #13


Imagine going to go get lunch, and then you see someone die. Firefighter shot, killed exchanging kids meal, the firefighter that was killed was Rafael Vazquez, he was off duty. The family was really affected by this no one wanted to say anything about his shooting. Four other people were hurt, no one knows why Alburn Edward Blake, the shooter, chose Wendy's to attack. After that he shot Vazquez and injured four others, Louis Rader, Antonia ,Vanessa Soto and Carl Michalek he committed suicide. What really surprises me is that he didn't pick a place full of people nor did he pick a place that was away from people. Blake didn't have a recorded for violence he just had that he accidentally ran over an 18-month-old girl with his van. After police searched Blake's house they did not find anything bad, except pills, and his neighbors say that he was really quiet and did not talk to a lot of people. Vasquez had a wife and five kids, four from previous relationships. usually you would think that the gunman would have said something before he took his life but he didn't.
