Two Californian Boys Killed In A School Parking Lot

California has some of the strictest gun control regulations on the books, yet somehow they still have gun crime. Shocker. It’s as if the criminals are not following the laws… In this case, an 11 and 14-year-old were killed outside of Union Middle School. Although the shooting happened at a school it is not being treated with the usual media frenzy as this shooting occurred in the early A.M. hours.

“Two boys in California were killed early Saturday while sitting inside a van in the parking lot of an elementary school when an unknown number of gunmen opened fire into the vehicle, authorities said.

The boys, ages 11 and 14, were shot outside Searles Elementary School in Union City, located about 30 miles southeast of San Francisco, Union City police said in a news release.

Multiple residents called 911 and reported hearing gunshots around 1:30 a.m., the East Bay Times reported. Police arrived at the school and found the boys with gunshot wounds.

The older boy died at the scene and the younger boy died while being rushed to a hospital, police said. Their names were being withheld because of their age.”

“The Union City Police Department is diligently looking into the motive for this tragic incident.  At this time, the Department has not ruled out the possibility that the incident was gang-related, but that possibility is currently unverified.  Crime scene investigators have collected several items of evidence, including shell casings.  The investigation is ongoing, and the Department cannot provide a description of the weapons used, the caliber, or number of weapons involved.”

Union City Police Lt. Steve “Mendez said police spent the morning talking with neighbors who live in the residential area that surrounds the school. They were working to put together descriptions of any suspects or vehicles that may have been involved, and to determine any motive for the fatal shooting.

“We don’t have any of that right now,” Mendez said. “Our detectives are out there trying to contact neighbors.”

This sadly sounds like a gang-related incident.  They were so young too. I have to ask where are the parents that they didn’t notice their 14 or 11-year-old gone after midnight?
