The juvenile, believed to be 15, was shot about 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday while riding with the other young men in west Harris County.These are the children of Texas gun owners. They were taught gun safety all their lives. Their dads made a special effort to demistify guns so their boys would know and respect them.
The driver, also a teenager, immediately went to Texas Children's Hospital in Katy. The wounded youth was rushed into the emergency room.
"But they couldn't do anything for him," said Deputy Thomas Gilliland, a Harris County Sheriff's spokesman.
Hospital officials then notified the Harris County Sheriff's Office about the fatal shooting.
Deputies said they believe the teenager was sitting in the front passenger seat. According to preliminary reports, the fatal shot came from the back seat. The bullet went through the front passenger seat and struck the victim in the back, deputies said.
The investigation is continuing, deputies said.
This is the result.

ReplyDeleteThis is a very stereotypical assumption considering the information given in the original article. Harris county appears to have a population of 4.3 million and includes the city of Houston.
In a more current article, it sounds like he went cruising with some bad people. Sounds like a not bad kid that made a very bad decision. My guess is that a child brought up in the way you believe that all Texas children are wouldnt be very comfortable riding in the front seat knowing that the guy behind him is playing with a loaded handgun in a moving car.
Riding around in a metropolitan area/city with a bunch of young men, no mention of age of the guys he was riding with,and a guy with a gun in the back seat. Even Reese's friends knew these guys were bad medicine as it is told in this more recent article.
