The dead lower branches have been severed, leaving large tan coins on the bark. But the tree flourishes near the top in an array of green fans that rise and fall like a queen's hand. All shades...
...more shots were fired in a matter of seconds. "It was like a running gunfight." He saw the flash of a gun, then saw Chestnut on the ground bleeding heavily. "Officer down!" someone shouted.

Parents who introduce their children to guns may first want to take them down to the morgue and show them the bullet-riddled body of the latest gunfire victim. CLAES NORELL London
