The article was based on a story in which a young girl who wrote about her life under the control of the Taliban was shot in the head, and possibly her neck.
Malala Yousafzai was the name of the girl who wrote diaries using the pen-name, Gul Makai. There are two sides of the story of how Malala was shot, and they came from two different sources; a local resource and of a policeman who was near the shooting. Local resources stated that a bearded man carrying a fire-arm headed towards the car where the schoolgirls where located, and asked for the name Malala Yousafzai before firing the gun. However, a policeman stated that the man opened fire while the schoolgirls were boarding the car, which brings us to two different stories of the shooting of Malala. In my opinion the different sources that told of two different events don't matter all, as a matter of fact the only important thing is that Malala survived the encounter. When a person, he/she is injured I believe that the article should talk about her condition currently and explain if she was safely sent to a hospital instead of talking about how she was shot and how brave she was (a human's life is more valuable). However, the stories of her diaries and her nominations and winning of awards gave us readers a bit of an idea of what kind of girl she was and what kind of experience she had.
Overall, I believe that the man who shot her in the head was wrong to do such a thing to a little girl who only wanted to let the world know about the situations she overcame. I also think that Malala was really a brave girl who feared nothing and wrote these diaries while knowing that she could face consequences for it (Malala possibly knew that the Taliban would come after her when her real name was revealed when she won the national award for bravery).
