One kid dead, others shot
THE POWER OF texting turned a party in Sacramento into death for a teenager, and bullet laden injuries for others.
The
Sacramento Bee reported that what had started as an innocent txt message to pals to celebrate a 16th birthday party turned into a gunfight at the not-so OK corral.
The
Sacbee reported
here that a message to 40 friends from a mobile phone turned into a battle where a 16-year old high school boy, Phillip Bailey, died, while four other children including one girl were hospitalised with gun wounds. The 40 recipients may have texted their pals, and so on ad infinitum.
Adults were trying to shut the party down when the gun shots started, said the
Sacbee, quoting a local cop.
The street, LeFord Way, was crammed with kids by 11.30, and an innocent text message had dragged in heaps of people. Some parents claimed they didn't know what the text messages meant. The
Sacbee describes text messages as a must have for young people.
