He was suspended from school. The neighborhood had a bunch of break ins coinciding with the time that the kid was visiting his daddy. His last Facebook pictures had him flashing gang signs. The family wiped off any recent pictures of him from Facebook and MySpace.
All facts.
I can link to the original police report, to the witness report, and to the most recent achool I'd picture if necessary
Interesting. This is why I made the statement about what if the news was saying was accurate. On the news here (radio) they have the 911 caller as being the guy who was shot, and absolutely no mention of any injuries to the shooter. Here it has been portrayed that the kid who was shot was un-armed, and just walking down a sidewalk talking on a cellphone to his girlfriend while being followed by the shooter who had been yelling at him and threatening him. And no mention of any gang affiliation, school suspension or break-ins. I caught a 'blip' of it on TV news and it was pretty much what the radio was saying.
The info you have posted certainly changes things.
I just don't understand why 'the news' doesn't always put out the whole story. Depending on what you're watching or listening to, it has a spin on one side or another.
It seems to me, in light of what you're saying, the kid who was shot is not just an innocent victim.
edit:(you and I were posting at the same time)----A bounty??? YIKES!!!! NOT a good thing!!
