Tragic! Jordan Davis' Mom Talks About the Senseless Killing Her Son in Florida (Video)
(Via Global Grind)
"....The shooting took place on Black Friday, when 17 year-old Jordan Davis and a group of teens stopped at a station in Jacksonville.
45-year-old Michael Dunn pulled up to their car to ask them to turn their music down. Words were exchanged and Dunn pulled out a firearm from his glove department and shot the vehicle eight to nine times, fatally killing Davis. Dunn claims that he felt "threatened" and that he shot out of "self defense," though no weapons were found in the Davis' car."
During a painful point of the interview, Jordan's mom Lucia McBath said:
"We don't know where he was or what kind of dark place he was in at that moment but something snapped in that man. Something snapped in him, so we are not looking at it as the hate crime because that's not going to honor Jordan."

KC Star: "Chiefs Player Jovan Belcher Kills Girlfriend, then himself
"Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher this morning shot and killed his girlfriend before going to Arrowhead Stadium and fatally shooting himself as team personnel tried to stop him, police said.
Police Capt. David Lindaman said Belcher, 25, and his girlfriend, Kasandra Perkins, 22, got into an argument at their home in the 5400 block of Crysler Avenue in Kansas City. Around 7:50 a.m., Lindaman said, Belcher shot Perkins multiple times. She was taken to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead. Lindaman said Belcher’s mother, who was visiting the couple and their 2-month-old daughter from New York, witnessed the shooting and had been interviewed by police.
....Belcher left the scene on Crysler and went to the Chiefs practice facility at Arrowhead, police said. Police were called to the stadium around 8:10 a.m. When Belcher arrived there he encountered
General Manager Scott Pioli, Coach Romeo Crennel and other team personnel. Police said Chiefs staff attempted to keep Belcher from committing additional acts of violence. “He had a conversation with Scott Pioli,” Lindaman said. “There was no threat and it was quite friendly, from what I understand. The Chiefs organization had been very supportive of him and he was expressing that.”"
