SalamRushdie:
Guns don't kill people, people kill people

A house cleaner and mother-of-four di£d in the arms of her husband on Wednesday, Nov. 5, after she was f@tally shot outside a home near Indianapolis.

Maria Florinda Rios Perez, a 32-year-old immigrant from Guatemala, was headed to work cleaning a home with her husband in Whitestown, Indiana, on Wednesday morning when they arrived at the wrong house, the late woman's brother, Rudy Rios said in Spanish.

Rios, 22, said when his sister had just arrived at the house, she tried to open the door using keys she was carrying when she was shot in the head and “fell into the arms of her husband.”

“It’s so unjust. She was only trying to bring home the daily bread to support her family,” Rios said. “She accidentally went to the wrong house, but he shouldn’t have taken her life.”

“She wasn’t threatening, she had nothing in her hands, only those keys,” he said.

Rios said his sister is a mother of four whose children range in age from one to 17 years old.

“They’re completely destroyed,” he said

Officers responded to a 911 call in Whitestown, reporting a "'possible" residential entry in progress at a home in the Heritage subdivision" at 6:49 a.m., according to a police statement.

At the home, officers found "an adult female who sustained a gunshot wound, along with an adult male on the front porch of the residence," police said.

Lifesaving measures were attempted on the woman, but she was declared de@d at the scene, police said.

"It was later determined that the individuals attempting to enter the home were members of a cleaning crew who had mistakenly arrived at the wrong address," according to the Whitestown Metropolitan Police Department statement.

Investigators quickly concluded this was not a home invasion or a burglary. Police confirmed this was an isolated incident.

"The loss of life is always a profound tragedy, and our hearts and prayers go out to all those affected," police said.

Police pleaded with the public not to rush to any conclusions as they and Boone County prosecutors try to determine if a crime was committed.

"We understand that incidents like this can cause concern and speculation," police said. "We respectfully ask the public to place their trust in the investigative process and refrain from sharing unverified information. These cases are often complex and require time to fully understand. Misinformation can be harmful to those involved and to the integrity of the investigation."

Rios said his family wants the person who fatally shot his sister be arrested, charged and brought to justice for the sake of his family and “because tomorrow there could be more victims like this.”

He said he believed his sister was k!lled at a time when there is increased racial profiling of Latinos and hatred towards immigrants.

“She had no bad intentions,” he said.

The family now has to raise money to support Maria Florinda’s children and send her body to her native Guatemala for burial, he said.

He said he wanted people to remember his sister as someone who was “very loving, humble, happy” and dedicated to her family.

“He could have given her a warning, but instead he k!lled her,” he said through tears

Dick Cheney, America’s most powerful modern vice president and chief architect of the “war on terror,” who helped lead the country into the ill-fated Iraq war on faulty assumptions, has died, according to a statement from his family. He was 84.

“His beloved wife of 61 years, Lynne, his daughters, Liz and Mary, and other family members were with him as he passed,” the family said, adding that he died due to complications of pneumonia and cardiac and vascular disease.

“Dick Cheney was a great and good man who taught his children and grandchildren to love our country, and to live lives of courage, honor, love, kindness, and fly fishing,” the family added.

“We are grateful beyond measure for all Dick Cheney did for our country. And we are blessed beyond measure to have loved and been loved by this noble giant of a man.”

The 46th vice president, who served alongside Republican President George W. Bush for two terms between 2001 and 2009, was for decades a towering and polarizing Washington power player.

Bush described Cheney in a statement Tuesday as a “decent, honorable man.” “History will remember him as among the finest public servants of his generation – a patriot who brought integrity, high intelligence, and seriousness of purpose to every position,” Bush said.

In his final years, Cheney, still a hardline conservative, nevertheless became largely ostracized from his party over his intense criticism of President Donald Trump whom he branded a “coward” and the greatest-ever threat to the republic.
