Teen Shot While Studying Remains Defiant in NYC
Tamima Samira, a 16-year-old student at Bronx High School of Science, was shot by a bullet that pierced her family's front door last year while she was studying at home. The attacker is still on the loose, and the motive for the shooting and the intended target remain a mystery. Samira remains terrified but defiant and refuses to let the nightmare ruin her life. She is more conscious about gun violence since the shooting and calls living in a country with more shootings in a year than days "absolutely insane." The shooting remains unsolved, and the investigation is ongoing.
