This is absolutely sickening. Another young life lost to senseless violence. It’s heartbreaking to think that an 18-year-old’s future has been cut short because of a fatal shooting. My thoughts go out to the victim’s family and friends who are undoubtedly devastated by this tragedy. It’s time for our society to address the root causes of such violence and work towards creating safer communities for our youth. Enough is enough.
