I am writing about a car driver who showed a lack of remorse for a 6-year-old they are charged with killing. Police said a 6-year-old was struck by a car Friday in front of her home. The crash occurred just before noon the 6-year-old was taken to WakeMed with brain and spine injuries and died a short time later. The driver that killed the baby was charged with misdemeanor death by motor vehicle. I pray for this child ... I hope this man spends his time in jail. Hope he stays in there forever for what he did and to learn from it. He will be punished for what he did.

The story that caught my attention is a six-year-old girl named Joselyn Perez Hernandez was killed by a speeding car on Friday in front of her home on Walnut Street, across from R.S Dunham Park in Cary. A Cary man was charged with hitting and killing a six-year-old girl showed no lack of remorse and used derogatory language at the scenes of the crash, according to reports. The crash happened just a little before noon, Joselyn was taken to WakeMed with brain and spine injuries; she died a short time later. The driver, Andrew Brady Everette, 50, of Cary, was charged with misdemeanor death by a motor vehicle, felony involuntary manslaughter, failure to reduce speed, exceeding the posted speed limit, and careless reckless driving.

The story that caught my eye is that some dogs, guinea pigs, and rabbits were killed in a Holly Springs house that caught on fire. I hope the house owners are okay. I hope the pets are okay. The house caught fire last Thursday.

This one is cute, here we go. There is a dog that is at a kennel in New York that keeps on smiling. I love dogs when they smile, it warms my heart when I see a dog smile. Dogs are the best pets even though there are drawbacks. Tall dogs are like big teddy bears while small dogs think they are better than the world.

The story that I picked was that a mother died after a minivan pinned her against a tree in a Walmart parking lot. The reason why I picked that is because it also said that her children were also hit by the minivan, but the children survived the crash. Also, that is crazy because why would someone do that to a mother and her kids; that is not good. Another reason why I picked this one is because it said her kids were thrown aside.

There was a drone attack in Iran in January 2020. 103 people died in the attack. 141 were wounded. They are honoring the people who died in the attacks.
