Family of Black teen shot after ringing wrong doorbell retains civil rights lawyers
NBCAPR 2023
It's no coincidence that two mistaken visitors have been shot in the US in three days, with Gillis being fatally wounded. Gun ownership in America, which is far higher than in any other country, has increased as concerns about crime have also mounted due to sensationalist coverage by alarmist right-leaning outlets despite the actual data on crime not supporting this perception.
While tragic, the death of this innocent young girl in upstate New York is likely to be quickly forgotten by the mainstream media as it does not fit their woke agenda. It is sad how these incidents often are hyper-politicized by the left to meet specific political criteria rather than looking at unique case-by-case circumstances.
