Jiverly Wong, 41, blocked the back door of the American Civic Association in Binghamton with his car. Then he entered the front door and shot the two receptionists.When the shooting spree was over, 14 people were dead and several more were injusred.

61-year-old Shirley DeLucia was the second receptionist. Shot in the stomach, she laid on the floor and played dead until Wong left the room. Then, from under a desk, she called 911. They were there in less than 3 minutes.

Bleeding and seriously wounded, the receptionist stayed on the phone for over 90 minutes, feeding information to the police.

Was this a case of ridicule that pushed a man over the edge? Police said “We picked up that … apparently people were making fun of him. He felt that he was being degraded because, from what we get is, of his inability to speak English. And he was upset about that.”

Yet, here’s the part that gets me. Binghamton Police Chief Joseph Zikuski said “From the people close to him, the actions that he took were not a surprise to them.”

Those words are haunting. People who knew him weren’t surprised. It makes me wonder…. Did anyone try to do anything to intervene? Could anyone have made a difference?

November, 2008. Kicking and screaming in terror, the girl was carried into the stadium. 1,000 onlookers watched as her hands and legs were forcefully bound.

When anguished family members broke from the crowd and ran towards her, the militia opened fire. A small boy was killed.

13 year old Aisha Ibrahim Duhulow was buried up to her neck and a cape was placed over her head, leaving only her face exposed. 50 men hurled stones at her face from the truckload unloaded earlier that day.

Her crime was being raped by 3 men. When she reported the rape to the militia who control Kismayo, Somalia, she was charged with fornication (adultery) and sentenced to death by stoning. At 13.

Her father told Amnesty International the act of reporting the crime resulted in her accusation.

“She officially confirmed her guilt” Sheikh Hayakalah, the Sharia court judge, said in remarks broadcast on Radio Shabelle.

According to onlookers, 3 times nurses were instructed to check whether she was still alive. They pulled the girl from the ground, declared she was still alive and put her back in the hole for the stoning to continue.

David Copeman of Amnesty International said “This was not justice, nor was it an execution. This child suffered a horrendous death...”

None of men who raped her were arrested.
