PHILADELPHIA - It's been almost one week since a group opened fire at four Roxborough High School football players and another teenager as they walked out of a junior varsity scrimmage.
Four students were wounded and 14-year-old, Nicolas Elizalde, died from his injuries.Boys Latin Charter School’s JV team was there when gunfire erupted.
Fortunately, none of their students were physically injured, but sophomore, Khary Brown, says he heard the gunshots."When I heard them I ran to the opposite, way to the far side of the field," he says. "We just shook hands, a few of them told us there were going to come here and play football with us, it was really sad," said Brown.
Boys Latin Charter School CEO, Dr. William Hayes, says he is devastated that the places that are supposed to be safe spaces for kids outside of school are no longer viewed that way."It is like a gut punch that you didn’t expect," said Dr.
