Hey Bill and Patty,

Sorry for your loss, it never makes any sense, I will keep both of you in my prayer..

Jimi

sorry for your loss

My thoughts and prayers are with you guys

If the above story is accurate, then I blame the cop. I'm not saying what the kids did was right, but I would think that it would be a hell of a lot easier for the cop to get out of the jeep's way than it would be to draw his weapon, aim, and fire. Even if the cop was justified, he should never have fired because he did not have complete control of his weapon. If he did and he was well trained, he would have hit his intended target, which I would hope was the driver and not the kid in the back seat.

The point is that there should NOT be a debate of any kind on this thread. This thread should be in support of Bill and Patti during a difficult time. If you want to talk about some other portion of the story, do so in private or in some other thread in some other forum. What is so hard to understand about that?

Please, don't try to place blame. All the facts are not known yet, not even by us, the family. There were a lot of decisions that night that led to the loss of someone we loved very much. He was a great kid, an Eagle Scout, a student of music and a wonderful kid that had a lot of friends. Last night before we left my brother's house, two of the kids that were in the car came by with thier parents. There was a lot of crying but one did say that how the media is portraying the events, did not happen. I hope to find out more today.

Thank you all for your concern. It means a lot to us.

Patti and Bill

Wow, We are sorry for your loss and if we can do anything please call us.
