Lesson 4 Key Conversation Breaking News

Jack: Hi! Did you hear what happened last night? There was a shooting in the Westbrooke Shopping Mall!

Steve: Yes, we were watching a movie on TV, and they interrupted the program for some breaking news and announced the incident. How terrible!

Jack: I know. It was the top story on the local news this morning.

They say they don't know yet how many people have been killed, if any,but at least 15 people have been hospitalized in critical condition. Have they caught anyone yet?

Steve: I heard that they don't even know if there was one shooter or two.

Jack: Can you imagine doing your weekly shopping and suddenly there are bullets flying everywhere?

Steve: Well, I'm glad I wasn't there. I had been there earlier. But...it was a Friday night...there were a lot of families with small children there doing their weekend shopping. What a tragedy!

Jack: This story will certainly spark a lot of debate about the gun laws.

Steve: Yes, it most definitely will! In the bars as well as on TV.

Jack: Let's follow the news story on the Internet.
