Kayla Rolland

He was five and she was six
They both grew up out in the sticks
He was black and she was white
Words were said they had a fight
Bang Bang A gun was found
Bang Bang He shot her down
Bang Bang On their playground
Bang Bang A Baby shot her down

He'll grow up and always cry
Kayla's gone I don't know why
Another day a mother cries
And every day we wonder why 
Bang Bang He shot her down
Bang Bang On their playground
Bang Bang She's in the ground
Bang Bang A baby shot her down

Politicians rant and rave
Another child is in a grave
Hey Hey Hey Hey

It's black and white - shades of grey
Noone fights the NRA
The Gun Lobby remains the same 
Networks hang their heads in shame
Bang Bang He shot her down
Bang Bang On their playground
Bang Bang She's in the ground
Bang Bang A baby shot her down

 

"When first-graders shoot first-graders,
it's time for Congress to be guided
by their hearts and their heads, not by a fear or the pressure tactics of the NRA ... In a country of 270 million people, no law can stop every act of gun violence. But we can't just throw up our hands as if gun safety laws don't make a difference"

-President Clinton,on Congressional non-action on
passing gun legislation.

MOUNT MORRIS TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) --A 6-year-old boy shot a little girl to death in their first-grade classroom today, a day after they may have scuffled on the playground.
In a school shooting made especially shocking by the age of the youngsters, the boy fired a bullet from a .32-caliber gun inside Buell Elementary near Flint, 60 miles from Detroit, striking his 6-year-old classmate in the neck. She died a half-hour later. The boy was taken into the custody of the state child welfare agency.
Prosecutors did not say how they think he got the gun, though they said it had been
reported stolen in December and was in the boy's home. President Clinton said he was told the boy's brother gave him the weapon His father is in jail. He, his mother and his brother live with his uncle in a Michigan boarding house alternately described as a flophouse and a crackhouse. His uncle exchanges drugs for stolen guns.
His classmates consider him a bully.He tells his father he hates them all, and he was recently suspended for stabbing one of them with a pencil.
He's six years old, and he finds a loaded gun in another of the boarding house's rooms. He brings it to school to show it off, and he aims it at a classmate with whom he'd fought the day before. He just wants to scare her.
At about 10:30 Tuesday morning, 6-year-old Kayla Rolland was pronounced dead, from a single bullet wound.
