AND, the parents want a complete investigation.

May DPS include an investigation of 15 years of parenting skills that culminated in the choices this teenage made.

If he had not already had a driver's license, within a few months he might have been driving, and have been operating a 2,000 pound "weapon" on city streets.

Tradegy -- of course -- for the teen, his family, his schoolmates, his community, the first responders and LEOs who corectly took action.

Avoidable -- of course -- but cannot apply a "Couldda, Shouldda, Wouldda" re-do.

And, of course, the "legal consequences" likely will befall the LEOs and school rather than the parents. Some lawyers will be able to buy new boats, 3-wheelers, trucks, rifles, guns, etc., while the hobbists -- who respect the laws AND the pellet/firearm manufacturers will have to "gather 'round the wagons" in defense.

Just my opinion.
