The papers said that the shooter was a classmate that had some sort of long-standing grudge/rivalry with this kid. Damn shame.

When you here this it makes you mad I do agree this kid seemed to be doing the right thing. The shooting does not seem random but that does not mean this kid did any thing wrong either.

Seems like this wasn't some random drive-by, so I'm wondering what beef he had with the shooter.

I usually just flip past these stories but this one almost made me cry on the train today. At 10:30 in the morning while walking home after helping to clean up a local beach the college-bound prom king football star was shot dead in front of his brother, who held his hand while he died. And what was on the front page of the paper? Christie fucking Brinkley.

This is so sad! Here is a perfect example of a good kid who dies for no reason at all other than spite. I really hope they get the animal who did this and hope he gets the max sentence.
