Trinity Gay
Trinity Gay, the
beautiful 15-year-old daughter of well liked sprinter, Tyson
Gay, was shot and killed in Lexington, Kentucky this past
Sunday morning at a local restaurant. The teenager was the
victim of an unprovoked act of violence on her part. As she
innocently stood outside fast food restaurant the Cook Out
at 4:00AM, two cars exchanged gunfire and Trinity was shot
in the neck. The bullet likely sliced or severed her carotid
artery (arteries) leading to exsanguination (and possible windpipe
damage). She was rushed to the University of Kentucky
hospital where she was pronounced dead.
Tyson Gay stated of the
tragic incident, "She didn't make it. I'm so confused. She
was just here last week for fall break. I have no idea what
happened." My deepest condolences to Tyson Gay and his
family. I'm sorry for your loss brother. It is a terrible
tragedy and I am sorry it occurred. It's awful hearing about
loss of life, especially when it is a very young person.
People need to rally around the Gay family and help them
through this difficult time.

The senseless gun
violence continues to claim innocent lives in America,
necessitating the need for gun control. This beautiful,
promising young girl, who was also a sprinter, has lost her
life through no fault of her own and for no valid reason.
Congress needs to stop cowering to the gun lobbyists and
protect the American people from violence.
Nations that instituted
gun control saw a massive decline in shooting deaths. It is
estimated that 30,000 Americans die each year from gun
violence. So many people who should still be here are not
because of gun violence. Something needs to be done on a
legislative level to fix the problem.
