4-year-old dies from “epidemic”
by EricWell, that’s what it says in the paper.
What’s the epidemic?
Guns, of course. The 4-year-old found his father’s gun, and shot himself with it:
Yesterday afternoon, Nahdirah Jaamar dropped by a rowhouse on Salford Street to pick up her younger brother and ran into her 4-year-old cousin, Dyshon Boyd, a boisterous toddler that family members called “Pooh Bear.”
Dyshon gave Jaamar, 15, a big hug and a kiss, and ran off.
Roughly a half-hour later, the 4-year-old lay dying from an apparently self-inflicted bullet wound, another young victim of Philadelphia’s gun epidemic.
There is, of course, the rest of the story.
