13-yr-old who wrote essay on gun violence shot dead at her house
Sandra Parks, a 13-year-old US schoolgirl who wrote an award-winning essay on gun violence two years ago, was shot dead by a stray bullet fired into her house this week. Two men, including one who was found hiding in a closet after the incident, were charged for her death. "My baby was not violent...she didn't like violence," her mother said.
