The Most Shocking Time

Boom! Boom! Boom! The sounds of three gun shots came roaring into my cousin’s house interrupting the movie, my cousin’s friends and I were watching. I was at my cousin’s house because she wanted me to come over and watch a movie with her friends. At first we thought that the sounds came from kids playing around with fire works, or popping brown paper bags. We were in the house watching a movie when we hear arguing, we ran towards the door to see what was happening when my cousin yelled GET IN THE HOUSE! We did as told, but instead of watching the guys argue from the doorway we went inside so we can watch them argue while sitting on our brown couch that was right by the window. While my cousin’s friend and I were watching the two guys argue I started to think what will happen next, is someone going to get hurt, or is someone going to try and break up the argument before something bad happens. Till this day I still remember what everybody was wearing. On that day I was wearing a white shirt, black shorts, whit socks, and black and white Nike shoes. One of the guys that were arguing was wearing a brown shirt, jean shorts, and white shoes. The other guy that was arguing was wearing a blue shirt, black pants and white shoes. While watching the two guys argument I asked my cousins friends if they know who those people are they told me that the two guys are from rival gangs and one of them are in the wrong neighborhood. After they said that they were in rival gangs I knew that someone is going to get hurt. After about five minutes of watching the two guys argue I thought that since nothing is happening that it is okay to turn around and finish watching our movie. After I turned around, and got up to push play on the DVD player I heard three loud gun shots and I quickly through myself to the ground as fast as I could because I didn’t know if they were shooting at our house or if some out side got shot. After about two seconds everybody in the house got up off the ground and darted towards the door, as soon as we reached the door the sounds of screeching tires followed by the screaming voices of bystanders.

While watching the shooter get in his gray Nissan I noticed that there were people running away, some people were just standing there in shock and didn’t know what to do, and a lot of people were circled around the guy that got shot. When I saw that people were forming a circle around the shot guy on the ground I ran over to where the guy was laying to see if he was dead of if he was bleeding really bad. As soon as I reached where everybody was I looked at the guy and I noticed that there was a big puddle of blood that was coming from two holes, and one hole in his arm. After looking at the blood I realized that he was dying because when I looked at his eyes they were rolling back so you could only see the whites of his eyes, he was also coughing up blood while he was trying to ask people to help him and he was also crying because of the pain.

While people were watching the guy the guy die someone in the crowd yelled out “SOME ONE GO CALL THE COPS INSTEADE OF JUST STANDING HERE”! When I heard that I ran inside the house so I could call 911, when I called the police I told them that someone got shot and is dying they told me to give them my address and to keep pressure on the wounds. It took ten minutes for the police to get to my house. When the police got to my house people were telling them the description of the shooter, and the car that he was driving. After they got the description they called the paramedics so they can pick up the guy that was shot. When they asked who called the police I told them that I called them and they said that they are glade that I called as soon as possible because now that they got a description on the shooter, and the license plat number of the car that he has now they can go and try and find him so nobody else that argues with him gets hurt. So ten minutes later all the cops were gone, and the streets of long beach California were quiet and dead again I said to myself whenever I argue with someone be careful who you argue with because you never know what will happen and since that very day I watch out for the people who I argue with.

  7. Great job Andrew! You had some spelling errors but overall it was great. That's one of the reasons I hate gangs and violence, someone always ends up getting hurt.
