Teen Shoots at Funeral Cars after a Viewing
Talk about disrespect. After reading this story, the idea of a driver working his way into the middle of a funeral procession won’t seem so bad.
In Oakland, California last week, a 17-year-old suspect was arrested after leaving a viewing for a murdered teen and then opening fire on one of the funeral cars that was circling the chapel. According to police, a car began circling the Colonial Chapel on High Street during the viewing for Erik Monrroy, a teenager murdered on September 2. At this time, it seems like the car that was circling the chapel may have been driven by a rival gang member. Either way, opening fire outside of a funeral home while others are trying to mourn is the pinnacle of disrespect.
Officers quickly responded after getting the call of shots being fired. They detained at least 16 people for questioning before arresting one suspect in the shooting.
What is going on in our society? When a family cannot even give a teen son a proper goodbye because others are busy outside the funeral chapel shooting at other people for whatever reason, we are in trouble. When funeral cars and chapels are no longer safe places for families and loved ones, where can we go to say goodbye to deceased family and friends?
