He's just a baby. So sad when kids screw up their lives so young. Not sure what he did or didn't do, but I hope he turns himself in and gets help before it's too late.

This whole situation is frightening and his parents must be worried sick.

I hope that this has an ending with no one else getting hurt.

Whatever this kid was involved in I hope he doesn’t choose to end his life. He obviously has a family that loves him so much. Hopefully he contacts someone and just turns himself in.

Whoa..

 

[Stunned]

The woman shot and left in the middle of the road was on the news. But so far I haven’t heard anything on him. I’m local.

Police find missing teen considered 'armed and dangerous'

"Patrick was safely located. No additional information is available as he is under the age of 18," police spokeswoman Christina Hallingse wrote in a email to the Citizen Times.

She didn't say whether he had been charged with a crime or whether he was in police custody.

Koerschner was last seen by family members June 25, and he seemed fine at the time, said Sean Devereux, an attorney representing the family.

Asheville police: Missing teen, who was considered 'armed and dangerous,' located

Asheville police are also looking for a juvenile involved in a shooting that happened on Monday, June 25, 2018. News 13 asked if these cases are connected, but a police spokesperson said she cannot make any further comments on the cases, because they both involve juveniles.

His parents must be so relieved. No matter what he has to face at least he’s alive.

 

[TeaTime]

He shot a woman? Lock him up and throw away the key. I don't care if he has a mental problem or not, he is a danger to everyone that comes across him.

 

[SugarQueen]

Has anyone heard anything more on the shooting victim? I had a look around and didn’t find anything new.

 

[Wagtales10]

His parents must be so relieved. No matter what he has to face at least he’s alive.

And another woman's family has to go to bed knowing they will never see her again, no sympathy from this one.

Kinda also blows my mind he can be considered armed and dangerous, rumored to have dragged a woman out of her car and shot 3 times, leave her to die in the middle of the road and law enforcement peacefully takes him in. Certain people cant leave their car without being gunned down from behind.

 

[SugarQueen]

Just to clarify, I am in NO WAY defending anything he may have done. IMO having some empathy for his family doesn’t mean I want him treated any differently than anyone else who may have committed a crime.
Did the woman die?? I wasn’t aware of that.
