A 16-year-old student in Arlington, Texas named Samuel Reynolds was shot to death outside his apartment complex this past Thursday. Several days earlier at his high school, Reynolds witnessed a bully persecuting another student in the hallway and intervened to stop him and protect the other student. That bully, a 15-year-old, is the suspect in Reynolds' murder.

Police say security cameras captured the 15-year-old pulling a .40 caliber gun and shooting Reynolds. The juvenile suspect was arrested soon after police watched the video. They are angry that a young man was killed for doing the right thing and that someone gave a 15-year-old access to a handgun. "That's something we want an answer for," said Arlington Police Officer Christopher Cook. "We are sick and tired of children in our community coming in contact with firearms and possessing them and using them." Police say they will prosecute whoever made it possible for the 15-year-old to get his hands on a gun. Police did not release a lot of information about the alleged shooter because he is underage. Arlington Police Chief Will Johnson expressed his frustration about the crime on social media, saying, "This senseless act of gun violence has no place in society and our hometown community. This was an emotionally tough case for responding officers, investigators and medics. We will direct our attention to how a young teen suspect accessed a firearm used in the offense." |
