Now...now, you know these were good 'Church Goin' Boys', just doin' a little robbing, "ain't no thang'. I'm sure we will hear from the family of the robber's (er...I mean victims) soon enough.

I know they will be portrayed as the finest choirboys to ever walk among us, and they were just underprivileged, and misguided. How did an 18 year old get a handgun? Shouldn't we have laws to prevent that from happening? Must have got it at a gun show, or just ordered it on line. You know if they just had universal background checks and other "common sense" gun laws this wouldn't have happened.

I'm wondering why they aren't charging the 15 year old with a homicide, too.

That may not be applicable in Virginia, I'm not familiar with their laws regarding charging an accomplice with the death of his partner in crime.
