This is the best summary I could come up with:
The children were not targeted in the Friday night shooting on a city street, Mayor Byron Brown said.
“A 3-year-old riding his tricycle, having fun with members of his family on a hot summer night, his 7-year-old big sister right by his side, and out of nowhere gunfire erupts.
Officers rushed the unidentified boy in a police car to a nearby hospital, where he was declared dead.
The police chief said investigators recovered a gun Friday night and were testing it, but no further information about the weapon was made available.
Brown and other officials at the news conference decried the number of illegal weapons on city streets.
“I’m heartbroken today,” said Brown, who added that the children’s mother was active in the community.
The original article contains 207 words, the summary contains 124 words. Saved 40%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
“decried the number of illegal weapons on city streets“
Everyone knows legal weapons are completely safe and couldn’t possibly be used for anything bad.
You see, once a weapon is used in a non legal way its no longer a legal weapon and we can trow the owner in for profit jail. Problem entirely solved, time to pray that the family moves on quickly and doesn’t say anything unholy like anti gun stuff.
