(hey parents..... we know what you're going to say. "My baby is innocent" right? And probably something like "they were forced to do it right? Or something like "we didn't know what kind of kids they were hanging with" right?
They are supposed to be your children NOT your best friends. Discipline wouldn't hurt.
We never would have thought about doing anything like this. We would have gotten our butts grounded for a month or we wouldn't have been sitting for a while.
Oh Bull..... my parents would have been the first to take us to the police station.
'We are in a state of shock': Loved ones mourn Nashville musician Kyle Yorlets after fatal shooting

A 24-year-old Nashville musician is dead and five juveniles have been charged in the fatal shooting.
Kyle
Yorlets, the lead singer of Carverton, was robbed and gunned down
behind his home at about 3 p.m. on Thursday. On Friday, three girls — ages 12, 14, and 15 — and two boys — 13 and 16 — were all charged with criminal homicide after being arrested at a local Wal-Mart.
A Metropolitan Nashville Police Department spokesperson said they had been investigating a 12-year-old girl who had run away from home, reported The Tennessean.
During the search, the girl was seen in a Snapchat video in a car “with
other young people with guns.” Investigators think the group, allegedly
driving a stolen car, was in an alley behind Yorlets’s home, and they
approached him to rob him. While they allegedly took his wallet, the
shooting is believed to have occurred after he refused to give up his
car keys.
After
the shooting, a wounded Yorlets made his was inside his house and
remained there — for an hour or two — before he was discovered by a
housemate. He still had a faint pulse, according to the police
spokesperson, and was transported to Vanderbilt University Medical
Center. However, it was there that he was declared dead.
.
The police spokesperson called Yorlets an “absolute innocent victim.”
Police have not yet identified which of the minors pulled the trigger, but said all five are known to police and the court system.
Per local law, the three suspects over the age of 13 have been publicly
identified. However, many media outlets are opting not to report them
because they are minors.
Yorlets,
a vocalist and guitar player, grew up on a farm in Pennsylvania but
headed to Music City with bandmate Michael Curry to establish themselves
in the pop/rock band space, according to the Carverton website. In Nashville, they met Christian Ferguson and Michael Wiebell to “complete the band,” which played at the Firefly Festival and has toured across the country.
On
Friday, the band paid tribute to Yorlets, who graduated from Belmont
University in Nashville in 2017 and worked at local restaurants, saying,
“On February 7, 2019, we lost our brother, best friend and bandmate
Kyle Yorlets. We are in a state of shock and are having to grasp the
reality that is now in front of us. “We are heartbroken. Our condolences
for his family and loved ones and all the lives that he touched. We
will never forget Kyle, and though he is gone too soon his legacy is
here to stay.”
The band had an album release show planned for next month, among other scheduled events.
The publicist for the band, Jen Appel, said that funeral arrangements are pending, according to The Tennessean.
A
colleague from the restaurant Pastaria, where Yortlets worked, spoke
out, saying he was “such a kind and forgiving person.” She asked people
to “send prayer and good thoughts towards the Yorlets family, his girlfriend, his friends and extended work families.”
A GoFundMe
has been established to help with funeral costs and travel expenses for
Yorlets’s family. So far it has over $7,000 of its $10,000 goal.
