   A few days ago, the newspapers reported a tragic 1 incident in Manchester.


  Kally, a 15-year old girl, had split 2 up from her boyfriend Josh, who was 18. A few days later, Josh came round to Kally’s house. People nearby heard Kally and Josh arguing. Then they heard two gunshots, and then a third. Kally was found dead on the doorstep of her home. Josh was found dying a short distance away. It appears that Josh, upset that Kally had split up from him, had shot her and then turned the gun on himself.
  Kally had been in the middle of her GCSE exams at school. One of her friends told the newspapers. “She was in the top set for everything. She was beautiful. She had blue eyes and blonde hair and was naturally pretty. She hadn’t decided 3 what she wanted to be, but she was very intelligent.”
  Detectives are investigating how Josh managed to get hold of the shotgun. Shotguns are guns which fire lots of little pellets or shot. They are often used by farmers to shoot rabbits and other pests on their farm. In Britain, you need a licence to own a shotgun. The area where Kally and Josh lived has suffered from a number of other gun crimes in the past few years, although overall gun crime has fallen in Manchester.
  Note: “GCSE” stands for General Certificate of Secondary Education. Children in England do their GCSE exams at the end of Year 11, when they are 15 or 16 years old.
  “Kally was in the top set for everything” means that in all her school subjects she was in the group of the most able students.
  “to get hold of” means “to obtain”
