As I was preparing to start my day this morning I was listening to the news and heard of a tragic story about a young girl who was 14 years old being killed by either a 17 or 19 year old male during a brawl due to a fight that started on Facebook.
According to CNN The fatal feud started with a squabble on Facebook, devolved into a planned brawl at a park, and ended with a 14-year-old girl dead.
Police in Alabama say a group of girls who quarreled on Facebook decided to take their grievances to a Birmingham park, where their fight was going to be videotaped and then posted online.
After the melee ensued, two teenage males pulled out guns and started shooting at the girls, CNN affiliate WIAT said. The shots killed 14-year-old Kierra'onna Rice and wounded two others.
Birmingham police arrested two suspects who were identified by witnesses. The names of the suspects, ages 17 and 19, have not been released.
WIAT said authorities believe one of the suspects was dating one of the girls who was fighting Kierra'onna.
This was the most senseless crime that I have heard about in a long time and it all goes back to bullying. This week we will be providing you with tips on bullying and what to do if you are ever in a bullying situation.
