A 17 year old shot two employees on the showroom. One is dead, the other injured.
Here's a link to the story from one of the Memphis TV stations.
Clicky

When I read stories like this, I'm convinced we're just not going to make it and the dolphins will have the last laugh. Very, very sad.

The real tragedy is that this kid probably has a long history of causing trouble and nothing was done to keep that history from getting longer.

***??? And because he's 17 he'll probably get off with less of a sentence than he should. With that many witnesses and the smoking gun, he should be taken out behind the Courthouse and executed. End of story.
Why should the taxpayers support his a** in jail for the rest of his life....although I doubt he'll get that.
End of Rant....

He was killed in his car after he murdered one and injured another.
17 year old picking up a brand new bike? Must have been miserable for you.
I will ride the 200 boring flat miles to Memphis to relieve myself on his grave when I find out exactly where that is. I will make it an annual rite on my way to Barber.

I'm guessing that he wouldn't have proven to have the stable and conscientious personality required to be a safe motorcyclist. Just a wild guess.

What a tragedy. I can't help but wonder if someone (perhaps the man who was killed) was kind of reading the signs that he shouldn't be on the road and trying to put him off. Of course, last time I bought a new car the paperwork took all day...

I'm all for making his grave a "Pit Stop" for anyone passing through the area. What a POS.
