Tragedy in the USA: State media reported today (Thursday) that 16-year-old Ginny Hirston from the city of Columbus was shot to death by her father because he thought she was a burglar.

After the forces arrived at the scene, the girl was evacuated to the hospital in the city, and died of her wounds in the morning. The U.S. reported that this was the 202nd shooting incident in Columbus this year.
