2.    Category of Problem: Criminal
3.    Level of Problem: State
4.    Article Concerns: Whether or not a man should be charged with killing a girl that knocked on his door for help.
5.    Affects families/individuals: This highly affects the family of the girl that was shot because they lost someone that was very special to them. This also affects the man that shot her because depending on the results of the investigation determines what happens to him.

6.    My concerns: This was a very tragic event that happened. It has to be extremely hard to determine whether or not this was truly an accident. It is hard to believe that a man could just shoot someone that knocked on his door without determining whether or not she was actually a threat first. I understand someone having the right to shoot someone if they feel like their life is being threatened but to just shoot someone without knowing is kind of hard to imagine. I think that this investigation should be very through in order to find out the truth behind this horrific accident.
