A fatal shooting in White Springs, Florida has led to child abuse charges against the parents of the siblings involved. The 15 year old girl who is not being named shot her 16 year old brother and called him after she says he beat her and locked her in her room. When police investigated the home the 15 year old girl’s bedroom only contained a bucket in the closet for bathroom purposes and a blanket. After the parents were contacted they admitted that they often locked the girl up, for as long as 20 days at a time. The teens father was a truck driver and their mother often went along on trips, leaving the 16 year old boy in charge of his 15 year old sibling as well as two other female siblings who were 11 and 3 years old at the time.

The fatal shooting in Florida occurred after the 16 year old beat the 15 year old girl and then locked her in the bedroom. Police say the girl has been abused for years, and she finally had enough. The 15 year old convinced the 11 year old to unlock the door, and she then went through her parent’s bedroom window in order to get to the gun because their door was locked. The 16 year old was sleeping in the living room when he was fatally shot. Both older sisters are in a juvenile facility and the 3 year old was taken into protective custody by the state. The parents admit that the 15 year old was very disturbed, saying she had attempted suicide several times and been molested by an uncle who was convicted in 2010. In 2011 the parents found the siblings having sex. In spite of this the police and protective workers were never called by the parents who are now being charged with child abuse.

In 2011 Fort MacMurray police officers were involved in a fatal shooting, and these law enforcement professionals have finally been exonerated by a provincial court judge. On March 16, 2011 Ahmad Abdallah engaged in a gunfight with Fort MacMurray police officers who had responded to a 911 emergency call. The end result was that the 24 year old Ahmad Abdallah was fatally wounded in the shoot out with the cops. The entire incident started when the 24 year old got into a heated argument with one or more residents while visiting the apartment building where the fatal shooting occurred. While at the apartment building Abdallah refused to remove his shoes, and produced a handgun which he then pointed at the resident and made a statement about how he could hurt the resident of the apartment building.

When Ahmad Abdallah pulled a gun a female resident ran into the bathroom, locked the door, and called 911 for help. During the 911 call dispatchers sent Fort MacMurray police officers to the location after hearing two gun shots when Abdallah shot into the floor of the structure. When RCMP officers arrived Cst. Marshall was the first one into the apartment building, followed by four more Fort MacMurray police officers. The fatal shooting occurred because Abdallah fired rounds at the officers, and the Fort MacMurray police officers returned the fire and mortally wounded the gunman before he could hurt someone else in the apartment complex. Jim Jacques, the provincial court judge who exonerated the officers involved in the fatal shooting, stated “They responded promptly, intelligently, and bravely to a potential life-threatening situation,”
