[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The 16 yr old's attys will make it a self defense case.  The decedent and the suspect fought prior to the shooting.

Not enough facts to know for sure, but there's a good starting point for a legit self defense case.  Suspect will be very lucky to get released pending trial.  What a nightmare.

A good example of "nothing good happens after midnight."  [/quote]

In the mom's IG she refers to him and the other suspect as "my boys." I can't even imagine. He has a decent, intact family, dad is military, [b]grandfather was Fairfax LE[/b]. I imagine they will get him a good lawyer. Wonder how he went so off the rails so young? [/quote]

Probably his peer group at that high school.[/quote]

What is the school like? He did not shoot someone in Alexandria, but in DC.

Why the backpack? What was he really doing there? Besides not backing down from a fight. [/quote]

This is important information, right here. [/quote]

West Po is in Fairfax, this isn’t Alexandria. From what I understand it’s a decent school with a significant number of UMC kids. They’re rivals to ACHS. [/quote]

[b]The kid who got arrested is from what was the old Groveton area, the kids from Fort Hunt got jammed into the same high school with them.[/b][/quote]

I live in the area.  The Groveton/Fort Hunt high school merger took place a generation ago - mid 1980's.  I know many parents of West Potomac students or recent grads who graduated from West Potomac High School.  The Fort Hunt/Groveton graduates are all now approaching or past 60 years old.  I don't know any current families who say - oh you live in a Groveton neighborhood versus a Fort Hunt neighborhood.

The neighborhood he lives is, Kirkside, is full of educated, professional, wealthy, white families.  It borders the Hollin Hall neighborhood, the highly sought after contemporary homes designed by Charles Goodman.   The neighborhood has a pool, Hollin Meadows Swim and Tennis Club.  The elementary school for Kirkside is Hollin Meadows Elementary, which is one of the Title 1 elementary schools that feeds into WestPo.   It draws from a very large apartment complex on Rt. 1 and one of the Rt. 1 trailer parks.  When my kids were in elementary school, most of the Kirkside families sent their kids to Hollin Meadows, but I don't know if that's still true today.
