Hey guys! I know probably no one will read this, but I need to let all of this horribly.  Februar 10, 2013, A Sunday, three boys were involved in a shooting at 1:45 in the morning.  Two of the boys lived.  One of them, who I knew personally, passed away and the boys were all 15.  Here is what happened, according to one of the boy's dad.  Person 'A', the one who died, snuck out of his house to go to Person "C"'s house.  Person B was invited before,so he did not have a problem.  So Person 'A' snuck out and went to the house, later on, he realized he did the wrong thing and wanted to go back home.  So Person "C" asked his older brother if they could use the truck to bring Austin home and the brother said sure.  So Person "A" was giving directions to his house while Person "C" was the one driving, and Person "B" was in the front seat, and Person A in the back.  So while they were driving, the shooter saw the boys slowly driving past his house and was suspicious.  Austin was still giving them directions to where to go, when suddenly Person C was shot in the ankle/foot area, Person B was shot in the jaw/neck area.  Person A, sadly, was shot in the back of the head and was gone.  Person B jumped in the backseat and begun to give CPR to Austin, but it was too late.  Person C begun driving to the nearest hospital and were brought in and the nurses called 911.  Person B was in ICU during Sunday and Monday afternoon, Person C was discharged Sunday night.  Person A is now up in heaven flying high.

       Before any of you say anything like, Why were they out at that time of night, or Why were they driving at 15? I just wanna say Person B and A both went to my school, and they were both freshmen, like me.  That whole day changed the freshmen's class life, the whole HS, the families of the victims, including the killer and his family.  I graduated with Person A last year from middle school, and this whole thing did not deserve to happen.  Person A was always smiling and he was so short and happy and just so funny!  He was a sweet boy and everyone loved him! He did not deserve to go, not like this anyway.  Person B was in very bad condition and even told his sister he was not going to make it. But the doctors then figured out, the bullet did not hit any nerves or anything major.  Peron B is in my math class, and is still the same person on the outside, not the inside.  Person C went to my school in 6th grade, but then left.  I think he is doing fine.  The killer is now in jail, but the court will have a hearing to his official sentence next Wednesday.  And his attorney wants to lower his bail, which should not be lowered and the shooter should spend some time in jail.  But the shooter is actually really young and just graduated from high school.  The wake was Thursday, Valentines Day, and the book for the wake with the signatures had over 2,000 signatures.  His parents were real troupers during the wakening.  I actually did not want to cry and when I saw his mom, I literally ran into her arms and started crying.  And I ballwed when I saw his body, 9 years with the boy and even the future years are like now vanished.  He was not in a tux, rather his most comfortable clothes.  For the rosary, the whol freshmen class was brought into a different room for ourselves.  And the line to see his body and his family was to his casket, all the way to the entrance, basically it was a half an hour wait.  So many supporters came and all we could do was just pray for everyone.  The church, my schools church, for the funeral holds over 900 people.  Over 1,000 people showed up and some were standing in the back.  It broke my heart to watch the casket close.  Austin was such a sweet soul, it hurt to see him go.  May he rest in peace and continue fishing.

   Person B still has the bullet in his jaw and it will be forever in him.  Everyone's life is changed for whoever new the kids and their families.  What really got me was how many people were on the shooters side.  Another story that came out on the day he died, was that the kids went onto his property to take his beer and break into his car, which had been broken into the last couple of months.  He saw the kids and want to shoot a warning shot.  He shot six times, with three bullets hurting and killing the three boys.  Ladies and Gentlemen, those are clearly not warning shots.  And in my city, you are not aloud to shoot unless you are defending your life or your families life. Property does NOT count.  Property is your house and your car and you are still not aloud to shoot at anyone. You call 911.  And it is very sickening to know people are on the shooters side.  Some comments on facebook are like, the kid deserved to die, or the parents should be charged for letting their kid out late out at night.  Those parents have been through enough already having their youngest son die.  It broke my heart to see that.  And people think he should be free and out of jail.  HE KILLED SOMEONE! THAT IS NOT HOW IT WORKS! This got me all frustruated.  And people do not understand,  they can go see the killer and if they could, get him back.  We can't see Person A anymore because he is completly gone and we are not able to see him until we are with him in heaven.  No one exactly know the real story until Wednesday.  Please continue to pray for the families, even the shooters.  I know it's crazy, but they are going through hard times too.  

   I just needed to release what I have been feeling these last couple of weeks, more frustruated than upset.  But my dad has always been telling me 10 things can happen when you are out at night. 9 out of 10 things are bad.  And one of those 9 things that are bad happened to innocent people.  

Fly High Austin! And catch some big fishes for us.  

Please watch over your friends, classmates, your brother, your sister, and your parents.

Look over the other two boys, and be there when we need you. 

Gone but never forgotten. I love you Austin <3
