A huge clash between basketball titans Morgan Park and Simeon took place a couple of night ago. The game was held on a neutral court, Chicago State. Apparently is was quite a game. I know who won but I also know who lost...Tyrone Lawson III. He was shot (multiple times) and killed on a campus parking lot after the game..
Tyrone parents typically pick him up after the games, drive him to school on a daily basis and more. It appears as though they were really doing their parenting. Tyrone would never sneak off someplace, he always asked for permission. I don't know anymore about Tyrone other than what the Chicago Sun-Times reported in its page 2-3 story this morning.
The above is what I know. I also know that there was heavy security at the game. Lots of police and other security personnel, people with guns no doubt. But all of these guns obviously didn't save Lawson's life.
How sad that a person who wants to attend a basketball game ends up losing his life. As the Mother of Tyrone said, "There is no safe place." How very sad and how very true.
Guns in and around schools?
