Good Samaritan
The Erie, PA newspaper, Erie Times News,headline didn't read, 'Good Samaritan' but read: Man shot on area street. It wasn't the headline that caught my attention. It was the name of a middle class suburb in my hometown of Erie, PA. Like other cities we expect such events to occur inner city not the suburbs. The first sentence of the article told of a ten year-old being awakened by a gunshot outside her home just before six a.m. She woke her father who opened his door to assist the wounded young man at his doorstep. Details aside, while her father called 911, the young girl brought the man a pillow, blanket and tweezers to remove the bullet. Her father remarked about her calmness. "She's just an amazing kid. I think she's going to be an EMT."
Footnote: Whatever the young man was involved in, he was apologetic and grateful for the assistance offered by father & daughter. The authorities are still looking for the shooter.
