trying not to jump to conclusions, but I wondered, too, why the younger 2 magical thyme Aug 2013 #55

He wasn't charged with discharging a firearm. LisaL Aug 2013 #56

NBC news has repeatedly written he's charged with firing a weapon magical thyme Aug 2013 #61

He isn't charged with firing a weapon. Because it's not alleged her fired a weapon. LisaL Aug 2013 #68

I realize that. sorry you don't care the NBC news is the media reporting it wrong. magical thyme Aug 2013 #78

One of the 3 suspects was white? Quantess Aug 2013 #57
