In one of many lawless cities around the country, a group of teens fired more than 100 rounds into a family home, killing a 3 year old boy.
Crime is skyrocketing in cities, and Charlotte, North Carolina is no exception. Despite being in a red state, the lawless city is still run by Democrats, and their “soft on crime” policies are leading to more death and destruction.
In the late evening on September 7th, thugs fired nearly 150 rounds into a home. Eleven people were in the house at the time of the shooting, but only two were struck by the gunfire: three year old Asiah Figueroa and his four year old sister.
Asiah was sleeping in his bed when he was fatally shot. His sister is expected to survive her injuries.

Footage of the shooting was released by the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department, hoping that the public will have information on the shooters. The video shows multiple people getting out of two vehicles and firing on the home for more than 12 seconds before jumping back into their cars and driving off.

Officers responding to the scene found Asiah with a gunshot wound. The child was later pronounced dead at the hospital.
Capt. Joel McNelly spoke about the shooting at a news conference in the afternoon on September 8th.
“This should outrage everyone who hears this,” he said.
No suspects have been named, but authorities believe that the shooting is connected to high school feuds.
“What started out as teenage dispute games has turned into a deadly game that’s now taken two lives,” McNelly said.
Capt. McNelly is asking the community to assist the police in identifying the shooters, and specifically called out parents of students at the high schools.
’What we need is for you to be as outraged about this as we are,” he said.
