Philly as seen 52 murders in 69 days and it could have been 53 if police didn't rush this latest shooting victim to the emergency room in their car, FOX 29's Steve Keeley had reported from the scene.

My Response 
My response on this article is that all these shooting that have been happening are going to effect our summer. Everybody is usually outside during the summer and are outside any time of the night. So if kids we're to play at a playground around normal hours such as 3 o'clock p.m. and a group of men are having a argument and decide to sette the argument by pulling out a gun and instead of them a child gets hit with the bullet instead. It's not fair that everyone including people that could possibly be killed during types of situations like this. People should be take charge of situations like this like human beings then they need to ban guns or take them away from the people who aren't using them responsibly.
