First Story

53 year old, California native, Janice Jones was shot in the leg by her dog ,at 10 pm on Wednesday, when the dog knocked a 9mm handgun off of a table, which discharged it.
     She was taken to the hospital, and is expected to be alright, except she may end up bang charged for the incident.
     The bullet hit her in the back of the leg and she was lucky because this very bad situation could have been a lot worse for her.
     “It could have been worse,” California Highway Patrol liaison Tammy Rye said, “The bullet hit two inches away from the gas tank.”
     A animal control officer filed an animal abuse file because her dog was found very malnourished and had fresh cigarette burns on its forehead.
     “It could have done with a little less abuse and a little more of those pork chops.” Animal control officer, Janet Ngo said.
     Jones has though about this in her time in the hospital, and has finally some to a conclusion.
     “I guess this is a sign, i kinda deserved it.” Jones said.

Second Story

     At 8:12 a.m. , in the San Fransisco bay, an area got struck by a powerful earthquake that destroyed many homes, and took many lives.
     the earthquake shook up many people, and was very destructive. But those people plan to rebuild new homes and become stronger if another earth quake hits in the future.
     The building of McHenry’s auto supply at 2342 Plum street partially collapsed, and sadly two people were killed, and six were also injured.
     “Names of the dead are being withheld pending notifications of families,” Public information officer from the Hayward fire department Jennifer Vu said.
     Hayward firefighters used ropes to stabilize the auto supply shop, conducting a search of the building and capped a gas line, after detecting a gas leak at the site of the collapse.
     “I was eating my breakfast when the room started rolling. I dove under that table just as soon as I heard an explosion outside and a chunk of cement flew through my kitchen window. That’s when the screaming started across the street,” Hayward resident, Mike Beamer said.
     The epicenter of the earth quake was underneath the Hayward hills, and had a massive magnitude of 6.4 on the Richter scale.
     “The quake was a strong one,” Scientist Penny Gurtz said, “It occurred on the fault, which runs under the hills.”
     People as far south as Los Angeles, and as far north as Redding felt the quake.
