On 16 September 2015, gunfire broke out in South Los Angeles. De Je Brewer, age 14, was in the back seat of a Ford Explorer. She was shot twice, but she protected the life of her 10-month-old nephew. She said, “I didn’t know what to do, and then I felt something hit my arm. I touched it and it was blood. So I tried to cover the baby, and I laid over him.” Another bullet hit her back. The baby was unharmed, and Ms. Brewer is expected to heal. Ms. Brewer said about being shot, “When it hit me, I didn’t feel nothing because I was shocked. But like afterward, it started hurting.” Donna Brooks, Brewer’s aunt, said, “I think it was just something random, and it didn’t make a difference who it was. They just wanted to inflict pain on someone.” She added about the violence, “Enough is enough. Any time a life doesn’t matter, we have a problem.” Ms. Brewer said, “I’m blessed.”
