In Rio DeJaneiro, Brazil, citizens in the metropolitan areas are becoming increasingly aware of stray-bullet cases. They are becoming frightened that the causalities are increasing quickly and they may be next. Many families in poorer areas are worried because the gangs are taking control of territory that was taken away from them by police. There is a plea for police forces and political leaders to set more precautions down and enforce more strict actions to prevent more deaths.
This article frightens me. It talked about a little girl getting shot in the head by a stray bullet and what seems to be a police officer that has almost given up. I believe the president should step in and make some changes. They should stop gang activity before it gets even worse. Three innocent deaths are too many in my opinion.
These shootings are extremely bad for tourist attraction. Do you think that tourist want to go somewhere that has recently encountered multiple random shootings? No. Rio De Jainero is one of Brazil's major cities that will be hosting next years Olympics. This could kill the reputation of this city. This is also terrible for the political leader because if the president doesn't fix it then the people could turn away.
