How awful and unfeeling, IMO, was this killing, allegedly by 13 y/o Grove.
Why, just why?
I wonder if he would have allegedly done it if he had been by himself (no mercy from me -- just wondering).
Another firearm, accessible to a minor. Another death. A 12 year-old boy, gone -- in a split second.
Two families who will never be the same. SMH.

Guns have a lot to do with it, IMHO, but there is certainly more to it than weapons, of course.
Heart-breaking.
