just heard about that double shooting in Austin and my heart is breaking for both families affected 
the fact that there's still no word on who's behind it is super frustrating... we need more people like the ones investigating, working hard to find justice 
meanwhile, I'm just thinking of all the safety measures we could implement around our communities - more streetlights, security cameras, and community watch programs 
even small changes can make a difference 
. It's like we're witnessing a never-ending cycle of tragedy in our cities 
. The fact that two women were targeted on the same night, just hours from each other, is just heartbreaking 
. What's even more disturbing is how quickly this news goes viral, and yet, it seems like nothing changes 
. We talk about gun violence all the time, but concrete actions to prevent these incidents are scarce 
. The 23-year-old survivor is lucky to be alive 
. Double shootings like this are so senseless & devastating 
. I hope the 23-yr-old survivor pulls through & recovers from her injuries 
. It's just terrible how these things happen, leaving families & communities in shock 
. The police need to get to the bottom of this ASAP 
. Can't believe we're still living in a world where gun violence is such a problem 
. We gotta do better, for everyone's safety 
.
. My thoughts go out to the victim's family and loved ones, it's such a loss at such a young age 
...
i heard they have some crazy good BBQ and I'm definitely gonna have to check it out soon. but anyway, back to the story... 22 and 23 both, what a waste 
. Anyway, hope that young woman who got shot survives her injuries and can make it back to her family 
.
. Anyway, my thoughts are with the victims and their families right now 
. can't even walk down the street without someone getting caught in the crossfire. i feel so bad for that 23-yr-old girl who made it out alive 
, but her ankle is messed up big time... hope she recovers soon! the fact that no one's been arrested yet is just crazy
