written by Riley Galloway Staff Writer @RileyShea16 Blue and red lights were flashing outside the window, I could see several police cars lined up around our curved driveway. I was nervous, thinking to myself ‘what is going to happen? Will my family be OK? Did this really just happen?’ Moments before, my mom was lying on the bathroom floor, a victim of my father’s assaults. Kalei, my older sister,
stood in my mom’s bedroom crying at the fact she could not protect my mom. My oldest sister, Cherisse, stood crying, holding her neck which had been almost crushed by my father’s hand. And I was standing in the midst of the chaos, not registering what just occurred. Outside the window you could faintly see the outline of my father running, trying to get away. Before he was able to escape, a group of cops swarmed my father. >see STUDENTS on page 12
