NRA Blacklist

You may have seen this story already as it was distributed by Reuters a couple of days back.

It was 23-year old Gomez who was heading home from night school Tuesday night when she saw cops in her front yard. She says that’s when police told her, an intruder shot her father and brother.

Police say 27-year old Richard Gomez Junior was sitting in the living room watching television when he answered a knock at the door. Yvette says that’s when the intruder burst in and started firing. “My dad heard the gunshot, he went and got his gun, he went out and as soon as he got to the hallway, he noticed that they had the gun pointed to my brother’s head.
