BBC World Service - BBC OS, Shot for making a mistake

We hear reaction to three shootings in the US of innocent people in the wrong location

We hear reaction to three recent shootings in the US of innocent people who went to the wrong location

On the programme, we hear reaction to three shootings in the US of innocent people in the wrong location. Two high school cheerleaders were shot after one of them mistakenly tried to enter the wrong vehicle, Ralph Yarl was shot after ringing the wrong doorbell, and Kaylin Gillis was shot last weekend after a friend drove down the wrong driveway. 

We have an update from Yemen, where at least 78 people have been killed in a crush at a school in the capital Sanaa, during a distribution of charity for Ramadan.

Also on the programme: A video about a passenger yelling about a crying baby on the flight gas gone viral. We’ll hear how some passengers have coped with screaming children around them on planes.

And we hear from Frank Ocean fans who are angry and disappointed after the artist pulled out of his headline slot at the Coachella Festival’s second weekend.
