    Seeing Barbara Burns' expression change, Wang Lei smiled softly and continued: "Do you know what I was thinking when I saw the gunman? Yes, I was wondering why my hand  There is no gun on the gun. If there was, I really wouldn¡¯t be so embarrassed. I would find a better position to snipe the gunman.¡±

    "But I didn't, so I had no choice but to grab a gun from the gangster with my bare hands. There were only a dozen bullets in the gun."

    "Rex, so you are really starting to support gun ownership? But you have to know that if we implement stricter gun control, gunmen will not be able to own guns at all, let alone enter campuses with guns" Ba  Bara Byrne quickly opened her hands and said excitedly.

    Wang Lei nodded: "I know."

    "I think our current management of guns is very unreasonable. We have not controlled what should be controlled. We need to own guns to protect safety and deter criminals. There are many restrictions." Wang Lei suddenly waved his fist and pulled  The pain caused him to grin.

    "Hiss¡ª¡ª"

    Wang Lei leaned against the head of the bed again, enduring the pain and continued: "There are no gun advocates or gun control groups. We cannot follow the tone of the Rifle Association and must engage in this kind of confrontation. That is the conspiracy of the NRA. As for guns, we  We should support everyone¡¯s right to bear arms, and strictly control those dangerous elements who should not bear arms.¡±

    Wang Lei's attitude has not changed much from before, except that while emphasizing gun control, he also mentioned reasonable gun ownership. After experiencing the thrilling scene, Wang Lei has decided that he will apply to buy a gun.  Even if he can't carry a gun to school.

    "Yes, Rex. Our views are the same. We have all been misled by the NRA. Including many people, I hope you can stand up and express your attitude. We cannot allow dangerous people to continue to hold guns." Ba  Barra Burns said.

    Wang Lei nodded: "I will."

    As a relatively active political figure in the Democratic Party of Pittsburgh, Barbara Burns also has her own media resources. After getting Wang Lei¡¯s approval, a reporter from the Pittsburgh Tribune came to the ward to interview Wang Lei soon after.

    The reporter for the Pittsburgh Tribune is a Latino man in his thirties, Carlo Herrera.  The first time I met Wang Lei, Lei came in contact with many reporters, but Carlo Herrera was in political news and had never done news about Wang Lei before.

    However, Carlo has been famous for Wang Lei for a long time, no matter he was the youngest mayor in the United States.  This time as a campus superhero, Wang Lei always stole the show. Almost everyone in the entire Pittsburgh area has heard of his name.

    Carlo is a great reporter for the Pittsburgh Tribune. His interviewing style is very easy-going. He does not impose his views on the interviewees. He faithfully performs his duties of listening and recording. He is always able to do the job in key places.  Provide appropriate guidance.

    The communication between Wang Lei and him went very smoothly.  After the interview, contact information was exchanged, including mobile phone numbers, emails, and ¡°face-to-face¡± accounts.

    Watching Carlo Herrera leave, Wang Lei breathed a sigh of relief to deal with the reporter's interview.  Sometimes it¡¯s not easy. You have to remind yourself not to say the wrong thing, otherwise they will catch you and dig out all your secrets.

    Fortunately, Carlo Herrera is not the kind of guy who is inquisitive and has a penchant for digging out personal secrets. He is only interested in the subject of the interview.

    Three days have passed since the shooting, and this is the fourth day. These days, Wang Lei always pays attention to the news in the media, especially the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. There has been no negative news about him yet. Did Michael shrink back?  Conscience discovery?  Or did the Post's editors not use his manuscript?

    "I hope so. He doesn't want people to mistakenly think that the shooter is related to him. It was he who caused the shooting incident and the death of two lives. Several people were injured by gunfire and thousands of people were frightened."

    This matter really has nothing to do with him. No matter who it is, they will feel uncomfortable if they cause such trouble and are slandered. It is not because he cherishes the title of superhero.

    After the shooting, Wang Lei and the injured teachers and students were sent to the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Hospital in the small town of Forest Hills, which is close to the Lincoln Highway and has more convenient transportation. It gradually replaced Braddo Hospital.  The status and medical conditions of Ke's Up were better than those of Braddock's Up. However, after the wounds were treated, Wang Lei still requested to be transferred to Braddock's Up, which was closer to home and more convenient.

    This incident frightened Wang Jiaming and Hu Shuying. For several days, Hu Shuying stayed in the ward. Only when it was time to cook would she leave to cook something delicious for Wang Lei and supplement nutrition.

    In the past few days, except when sleeping, Wang Lei basically had no free time, except for police inquiries.Questions, interviews from the media, condolences from the school and school district, and visits from relatives, friends and colleagues have never stopped.

    After bidding farewell to Carlo Herrera, Wang Lei welcomed new visitors, Joseph Sargent, and Susan Hoffman, the creative director of the Wade & Kennedy advertising agency. Joseph rarely teased Wang Lei.  He held Wang Lei's hand seriously: "Rex, you make me proud."

    Wang Lei smiled and shook his head: "Oh, Joseph, I am not used to you doing this. You should be proud of the United States."

    "No, no, no, America makes me ashamed. He can't even protect his children from danger when they go to school." Joseph Sargent let go of Wang Lei and patted him twice on the arm.  .

    "Rex, to be honest, you surprised me. I hope you can recover as soon as possible. I still have many things to discuss with you." Susan Hoffman stepped forward and hugged Wang Lei gently.  .

    "Thank you, I think you should at least feel safe, because we have a mayor who can kill two gunmen with his bare hands." Wang Lei said with a smile.

    "Haha!" Susan and Sargent both laughed. Susan nodded and said: "K, I have good news to tell you, but I don't have to get the doctor's permission, lest you get too excited and injure the wound.  Bad effect?"

    Wang Lei immediately puffed up his chest: "Don't worry, I can be as calm as water when facing a strong opponent's gun. I believe I can control my emotions."

    Susan Hoffman smiled, she was just joking, Wang Lei¡¯s gunshot wound did not damage the internal organs, it was just a flesh wound, so it was not a big problem.  She smiled and said, "That's right. Levi's has initially approved the plan we proposed. They think that shooting a series of movies with Braddock as the background seems to be a good choice."

    "Of course, there are still many details that need to be determined on how to do it. Joseph and I came here this time just to stay for a while, find inspiration, and finalize the plan."

    "Wow, that's really good news." Wang Lei was excited and waved his arm again, but just halfway up, he suddenly stopped there, pretending to be nervous and smiled: "Oh, I'm too excited, I can't  There is no excessive movement, otherwise the wound will be affected."

    "Thank you, Susan, and Joseph. The residents of Braddock and I welcome you. You will definitely find that this is a magical place and you will feel happy."

    Wang Lei is very happy. If there are no accidents, Levi's will eventually choose Braddock for its advertising movie. This is even more beneficial than making a movie, because not everyone will pay attention to where the movie was shot. If you want to make people  You know, Braddock had to do his own publicity.

    Levi's commercials will carry out various publicity. If they follow the plan discussed by Wang Lei and Susan, they must mention Braddock, mention Braddock's history and current situation, and only then can they tell everyone that Levi's is participating  To revitalize this town, they must promote Braddock. The greater Levi's publicity, the more benefits Braddock will get.

    Of course, Levi¡¯s will also benefit. They will establish a glorious image. This is a win-win cooperation.

    Wang Lei added: "Oh, this gunman came at a really bad time, and I couldn't receive you two in person. I will call Braddock's assistant to the mayor. If you need anything, just go to her directly. Why?"  Sample?"

    Susan Hoffman waved her hand: "Rex, I heard that you established a foundation?"

    Wang Lei nodded: "Yes, it's an empty shell. It only has a few dozen dollars for the time being. Does Levi's plan to donate it to us? Then I don't mind blocking the bullet for you."

    "Haha, thank you, Levi's does mean this, and we need to cooperate with the foundation, not the government." Susan Hoffman said with a smile.

    Wang Lei was stunned for a moment, and asked with some confusion: "Why? The town can provide a lot of help."

    Susan Hoffman shook her head: "Maybe, but we all know that the government's decision-making process is complicated. Although you are the mayor, many things must go through the council, right? There will definitely be different voices in the council, which will affect  The efficiency of our collaboration.¡±

    Wang Lei nodded thoughtfully. When he established this foundation, he also felt that the decision-making of the parliament was too troublesome, and some people in the parliament believed that holding the Steel Culture Festival did not require the government's intervention, so he planned to let the foundation handle it.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Levi¡¯s and Susan Hoffman to also think about this issue. Of course Wang Lei would not have any objections. This is also an opportunity for the foundation.

    "Of course, if you insist on cooperating with the foundation, that's okay, then I am not Mayor Braddock now, but the Rev. BraddockChairman of the Hing Foundation.  Wang Lei said with a smile.

    "Of course, we hope to cooperate happily." Susan Hoffman took out a document from her bag and handed it to Wang Lei: "This is the cooperation framework we have drafted. You can take a look at it first. The specific details will be waiting for us."  Let¡¯s talk more about it after a few days of Braddock experience.¡±

    "K, no problem, I'm waiting for your good news." Wang Lei couldn't wait to open the file and read it quickly.  (This site,.
