According to the American "Overseas Chinese Daily", in the early morning of March 10, local time, the shooting case that occurred at the intersection of Maple Street and Adams Avenue near the USSC campus continued to ferment, which has worried parents who are ready to list USC as the target colleges and universities for their children's high school graduation.
In the early morning of the 10th, a 21-year-old African-American student at the Thornton Conservatory of Music in USSC was shot and killed by robbers. Chinese parents who took their children on campus to visit the campus on the 12th said that they felt that the environment outside the campus was unsafe after hearing about another shooting near the campus.
Police representative Scott disclosed some of the progress of the current case.
The attempted robbery shooting that occurred in the early morning of the 10th is very similar to the robbery and shooting case of Chinese students Qu Ming and Wu Ying that occurred in the vicinity of USC 7 years ago, and the robbery and murder of Chinese student Ji Xinran near the USC campus 4 years ago. These major homicides near THE USC campus have worried some parents who are considering having their children study at USC.
On the morning of the 12th, two parents of the Zhang family, who first came to Canada from Shandong, China, and then brought their children from Canada to Los Angeles to select colleges and universities, said that they were worried about their children's safety after hearing about the shooting. The two families have just finished a tour of the USC campus.
Two children from both families are in 9th grade in Canada, one is a boy and the other is a girl. The girl's mother said that the child liked USC, especially the media college of USC, and hoped to study media in USC, but she was really worried about her child's safety.
The boy who visited the NCC campus was accompanied by two parents, and the boy was also interested in the liberal arts of USC. The family's parents did not seem to have heard of the shooting near the campus, and when they heard about the murder, they also began to worry about the safety of their children going to school in the future.
The two families visited Los Angeles on the 11th, and they are preparing to visit Pomona's Liberal Arts College on the 13th in order to choose a college suitable for the child to attend.
On the 12th, three Chinese students on the campus of USC said in an interview that they had only been studying in USC for half a year and had never encountered safety problems.
A female student at USC Law School said she had seen reports of Ji Xinran's murder, but they felt safe on campus. It is currently the spring break of USC, and there are very few students on campus. (Qiu Chen)
