COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A 14-year-old boy who was throwing eggs at cars along with two other teenagers was shot and killed by someone who had been in a sport-utility vehicle that was hit, police said.
Danny Crawford was killed by a gunshot wound to his upper body, Franklin County Coroner Brad Lewis said. He died in an alley on the city's west side early Saturday, authorities said.
The teens were throwing eggs at cars when an SUV that was struck chased them, Detective Tim Huston said. The vehicle stopped and several gunshots were fired, he said.
Police were looking for the shooter, who fled in the SUV, Sgt. Dana Norman said. The SUV believed to be involved was found a short time later near where Crawford died.
The other teens were not hurt, police said.
Another reason to ban SUVs.
SUVs carry guns now?
Where do I get this option?
I suppose the SUV fired the gun too.
Never bring eggs to a SUV gunfight.
Some body was a good shot.
Exactly the same thing that happened here in Indiana this year. I was amazed at the number of people who said the shooter had every right to kill the kid.
I guess "SUV's" don't have actual drivers anymore. Must have been one of those new stealth models.
Anyone who fires a gun in anger, while aiming at others has no respect for others, no sense of the potential consequences of their actions, and no sense of personal responsibility.
This is a cultural problem which can only be solved by the community which is afflicted.
No, the trigger was pulled by a Pit Bull.
LOL
I would never egg on a SUV
I agree with the general sentiments in your statements. However, it appears you are equating the kid throwing eggs to a murder.
I don't think these crimes are equivalent in any way.
I'm not really trying to equate them. But I am pointing out that actions like these arise from people with damaged souls. I think the egg thrower and the shooter had a lot in common. They weren't raised right. The shooter's mistake was more egregious, but did not differ in kind from the mistake made by the deceased.
Abandoned to be reported stolen as an alibi for the owner or actually stolen and the kids picked the wrong vehicle to mess with? I wonder. The time of the incident wasn't stated but I wonder if mom knew where her son was? Note I left off dad ... statistically accurate (hey, if the RATs use that as a justification for overturning a recount, why can't I use it for commentary?)
Maybe an egg fell on one of Putin's spy SUVs, or the SUV of a mafiosa, or the SUV of Billy Jeff, or the the Bin Laden family Escalade ...I'm just trying to help police understand who would seek such revenge on a teen in this world.
In California to throw any object at a moving vehicle is a felony. Where would the bleeding hearts be if the SUV driver had swerved his vehicle because he was surprised and ran over and killed another innocent child. That young adult's actions had consequences. Maybe he'd still be around today if his parents would have raised him to respect the law and other people's property. No sorrow here.
The boy said the driver stopped the SUV, got out and began to run after them. The boy said while he ran through one back yard, Danny found himself trapped in the alley.
He said when he got to his house near Terrace Avenue, he heard six shots.
Danny’s house is about a mile from the alley where he was shot. A woman who answered the door at the house yesterday said Danny’s father did not want to comment.
Sgt. Dana Norman said the driver fled in the SUV. Police located the vehicle a short time later nearby on Burgess Avenue.
Looks like the guy who was hit with the egg really wanted his revenge.
I wouldn't shot.I'd just stop,open the door and let my Shepherds out of the car.They are trained to return to me in 2 minutes or less.
There's one of those right here, now.
