Why was he not in school at that time? How did he get a gun at 17? Who shot him? There are a lot of questions here
You really don't know how 17 year old kids get guns? I would guess this is gang related. Sure has that sound to it. We buried one of our graduating players today. He had signed to play football in a smaller college with hopes to transfer up in 2 years. We bury the other graduating player killed with him Saturday. Both killed in a wreck friday in wet weather. I hope the impact of this continues in the positive way I saw it going this past Saturday as our school met in the gym. Before it ended almost our whole student body joined hands and made a huge circle around the gym praying. It was something to see and be a part of. Society is lowering it's standards and so many don't care about these kids. They get caught up in this gang mess because its glorified on tv and in rap songs. Heck look at the Super bowl halftime show. 17 year old kids are killing each other for nothing and its a shame. I hope what I saw at West Craven Saturday continues. You have to show these kids love to reach them.
Asheville paper says he was a junior at Erwin and they have 23 grief crisis folks at Erwin today to meet with the kids. It's a very sad situation, absolutely terrible to have such a young life end in pointless violence.
