00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:02,880
This just ain't about this
shooting.
2
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:06,440
This is about losing our rights
as a society.
3
00:00:06,560 --> 00:00:09,040
It's bigger than that.
Don't we see it?
4
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:12,160
Don't we see it?
Yeah, I don't know what the
5
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:14,840
world is coming to because
everybody wants to carry a gun.
6
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:20,200
Everybody wants to, you know,
scare somebody with a gun.
7
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:24,160
It's just it's scary out here.
The owners of a Subway
8
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,400
restaurant in southwest Atlanta
say they don't know if they'll
9
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:31,280
keep their doors open after a
customer allegedly shot two of
10
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,800
their employees Sunday evening
upset because his sandwich had

00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:38,320
too much Mayo on it.

shift at.
A subway.
14
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:46,520
Restaurant The incident was
instigated by an unreasonable
15
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:50,200
customer upset over the amount
of mayonnaise on his sandwich,
16
00:00:50,480 --> 00:00:52,960
resulting in an act of intense
violence.
17
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,960
This event starkly shows that
danger can arise from ordinary
18
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,200
situations.
Driven by the need to understand
19
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,760
what transpired, we are made
aware of our own vulnerability
20
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,000
and the unpredictability.
Of life.
21
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,800
Brittany's demise is among
numerous instances.
22
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,080
Of lives.
Abruptly ended by unwarranted
23
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:16,200
aggression, Brittany was known
for her determination and deep
24
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,200
affection for her family.
She took up a job at.
25
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,600
Subway in southwest Atlanta with
the aim of improving her
26
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:26,600
family's future.
Previously employed at UPS, she
27
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,160
was no stranger to.
Hard work.
28
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:32,400
Her family remembers her as
intelligent, compassionate and
29
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,240
capable.
Of easily lifting people's
30
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,800
spirits.
Her cousin admired Brittany's
31
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:41,000
ability to infuse positivity
into otherwise somber situations
32
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,200
and maintain close emotional
ties with her family.
33
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,480
A few weeks before her death.
She had arranged and funded a
34
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,920
large family gathering, but
these plans were abruptly.
35
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,880
Disrupted.
On a regular Sunday evening, due
36
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,760
to an inconsequential
disagreement about a sandwich
37
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:02,160
order, an irate customer reacted
violently over his.
38
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,600
Order which?
Led to Brittany's untimely
39
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,800
death.
Brittany and her colleague Jada
40
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,680
Statham were regular.
Employees at the North Side
41
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,440
Drive Subway.
But their ordinary evening was
42
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,440
disrupted when Melvin Williams
entered the premises, only
43
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,280
recently released on bail
despite a violent past.
44
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,680
His anger over a sandwich
escalated into him drawing a
45
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:27,960
firearm and causing havoc.
Brittany was killed, another
46
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,480
person severely injured and a
minor witness traumatized.
47
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,640
As gunfire resonated, Jada
instinctively protected her son
48
00:02:35,640 --> 00:02:36,920
under a.
Table but.
49
00:02:36,920 --> 00:02:39,000
Couldn't avoid the unfolding
calamity.
50
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,040
The incident devastated both
families.
51
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,760
It turned what should have been
a joyful family reunion for
52
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,960
Brittany into Funeral
arrangements as Jada underwent
53
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,320
repeated.
Surgeries to recover physically.
54
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,480
The emotional injury was more
profound, the incident
55
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,000
illuminated.
Broader issues.
56
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,720
Of gun accessibility and
criminal justice system
57
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:04,040
weaknesses, Williams was
subsequently arrested for
58
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:05,320
murder.
Assault.
59
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,520
And illegal possession of
firearms.
60
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,040
But it brought small comfort to
Brittany's grieving relatives.
61
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,440
The Subway store owner mourned
the loss of two diligent workers
62
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,680
and questioned the location's
safety.
63
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,400
Brittany's death.
Became a catalyst for community
64
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,840
discussions about gun violence
in Atlanta.
65
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,600
Her family remembered her
vibrant character amidst
66
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,680
grappling with her untimely
death, however.
67
00:03:30,920 --> 00:03:33,320
Her legacy?
Is permanently marked by the
68
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:37,920
brutal nature of her demise Jada
and her son's healing journey
69
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:42,200
has only just started, even
while facing a tough.
70
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,480
Physical recovery.
The psychological impact can be
71
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,560
more challenging.
The shocking event will
72
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,000
undoubtedly leave an indelible
mark on their.
73
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,480
Lives her.
Son will need therapy.
74
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:57,320
To cope with what he saw.
His mother shot and his beloved
75
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,600
friend Brittany.
Lost forever.
76
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,560
Brittany Macon's.
Tragic story.
77
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,720
Underscores how quickly life can
end in a society riddled with
78
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,120
gun violence.
It brings out the
79
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:10,800
unpredictability.
Of tragedy.
80
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:15,400
And the devastating outcomes of
trivial conflicts beyond the
81
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,560
Subway restaurant's walls.
Brittany's.
82
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,560
Story echoes.
Profoundly as it symbolizes a.
83
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,960
Cut short life.
A separated family and a.
84
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,480
Community forced to gather the
broken pieces.
85
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:31,000
The prosecution against Williams
continues as Brittany's family
86
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:32,720
and.
Communities still grieve.
87
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,120
They mourn not.
Just her death, but also the
88
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,600
loss of.
Security and peace that has been
89
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,640
irreparably damaged.
In a society where routine
90
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,880
activities can become fatal,
individuals grapple with
91
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,600
profound hopelessness.
Brittany's tragic story
92
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:53,040
underscores the need to confront
the pervasive issue of violence
93
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,080
affecting not only Atlanta, but
the whole country.
94
00:04:56,840 --> 00:04:59,000
Regrettably for those acquainted
with Brittany.
95
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,800
This alert was belated.
Creating an indelible emptiness
96
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,520
in their lives.
Thank you for tuning in to no
97
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:07,400

It's bigger than that.
Don't we see it?
4

Don't we see it?
Yeah, I don't know what the
5
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:14,840
world is coming to because
everybody wants to carry a gun.
6
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:20,200
Everybody wants to, you know,
scare somebody with a gun.
7
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:24,160
It's just it's scary out here.
The owners of a Subway

say they don't know if they'll

resulting in an act of intense

But it brought small comfort to
Brittany's grieving relatives.
61
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,440
The Subway store owner mourned
the loss of two diligent workers
62
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,680
and questioned the location's
safety.
63
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,400
Brittany's death.
Became a catalyst for community
64
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,840
discussions about gun violence
in Atlanta.
65
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,600
Her family remembered her
vibrant character amidst
66
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,680
grappling with her untimely
death, however.
67
00:03:30,920 --> 00:03:33,320
Her legacy?
Is permanently marked by the
68
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:37,920
brutal nature of her demise Jada
and her son's healing journey
69
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:42,200
has only just started, even
while facing a tough.
70
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,480
Physical recovery.
The psychological impact can be
71
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,560
more challenging.
The shocking event will
72
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,000
undoubtedly leave an indelible
mark on their.
73
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,480
Lives her.
Son will need therapy.
74
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:57,320
To cope with what he saw.
His mother shot and his beloved
75
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,600
friend Brittany.
Lost forever.
76
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,560
Brittany Macon's.
Tragic story.
77
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,720
Underscores how quickly life can
end in a society riddled with
78
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,120
gun violence.
It brings out the
79
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:10,800
unpredictability.
Of tragedy.
80
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:15,400
And the devastating outcomes of
trivial conflicts beyond the
81
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,560
Subway restaurant's walls.
Brittany's.
82
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,560
Story echoes.
Profoundly as it symbolizes a.
83
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,960
Cut short life.
A separated family and a.
84
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,480
Community forced to gather the
broken pieces.
85
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:31,000
The prosecution against Williams
continues as Brittany's family
86
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:32,720
and.
Communities still grieve.
87
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,120
They mourn not.
Just her death, but also the
88
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,600
loss of.
Security and peace that has been
89
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,640
irreparably damaged.
In a society where routine
90
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,880
activities can become fatal,
individuals grapple with
91
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,600
profound hopelessness.
Brittany's tragic story
92
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:53,040
underscores the need to confront
the pervasive issue of violence
93
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,080
affecting not only Atlanta, but
the whole country.
94
00:04:56,840 --> 00:04:59,000
Regrettably for those acquainted
with Brittany.
95
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,800
This alert was belated.
Creating an indelible emptiness
96
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,520
in their lives.

97
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:07,400
tears.
