Mother of girl wounded in Annunciation shooting We are not OK
Malia Kimbrell, a nurse at HCMC, publicly urged lawmakers to take action following her daughter's injury in the Annunciation Church shooting. Vivian, 9, was struck by bullets twice in her back and once in her arm, and Kimbrell warned that bullet fragments may remain in her for life. The tragic event claimed the lives of two children and injured 21 others, igniting calls for an assault weapons ban from the community. During a visit to the church, Vice President J. D.
Vance heard from concerned parents like Harry Kaiser, who requested legislative measures to prevent such incidents. While Vance expressed a desire for change, he did not commit to specific federal legislation. Healthcare leaders emphasized the emotional toll on families and the need for tangible actions against gun violence. Kimbrell's plea resonated with many, reflecting the urgent public demand for reform. The incident highlights a critical moment in the ongoing debate over gun control in America.
