This is a sad story about a 19 year old girl, she was used as a human shield by the robbers and when the security guard wanted to shoot the robbers, unfortunately, it ended up right on her head, not the robbers. In my opinion, the security guard should have been more careful, obviously when they are using her as a shield, the bullet will end up on her. They should have waited for the right time to shoot or have like a second plan. Just like that, a soul had been loss. I feel sorry for her family. I can imagine the emotions that they are going through, I found her on face book, she is known as Bobo Cheng to her friends, she is a very gorgeous girl. There is also a face book page dedicated to her and has recorded more than 18,000 messages.
