Gunshot

BOOM! A single sound of a gunshot roared throughout the city mall in North Carolina. I looked a few yards ahead and saw a woman face down on the JC penny floor with a group of adults standing around her. I jogged towards the women and I saw my dad huddled over her talking on his phone, "why is he over there" I thought, my mind was telling me I needed to get to the woman, I started sprinting. I got a few feet away and looked closely at the women who got shot, "My mom is the woman" I thought, time suddenly slowed down and all I could see was my dying mother laying on the cold mall floor in a pool of blood. Nearly bursting into tears I looked behind me and saw 5 firefighters jogging towards us. I looked back at my mother, her bloodshot eyes were staring at me, as her eyes rolled back she whispered something to me, to this day I still don't know what she said. All I remember after that was my dad telling me the tragic news, and I remember thinking "its all because of that one gunshot."
