Ohio teenager who was egging cars fatally shot

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Police say a Columbus teenager who was throwing eggs at cars as part of a late-night prank has been fatally shot.
Police say 16-year-old Garrett Burton was with at least one other teenage boy Saturday in the backyard of a home when someone shot him in the head just before 3 a.m. Police have no suspects.

The band at Westland High School, where Burton was a student, played the school’s alma mater in memory of him at Saturday night’s football game.

Another Columbus teen was killed in an egging incident in December 2006. Fourteen-year-old Danny Crawford was shot after a group of boys he was with threw an egg at a car. No one has been charged in that case.

Just goes to show, there are many crazies out there. Some ppl are sick of "teens behaving badly" and "taking the law into their own hands." Maybe this kids friends will learn a lesson here (horribly learned, but still a lesson)

I hope they catch the shooter and put him/her on the table. Eggs on car = shot in head, do not think so.
Call 911.

kinda shocking since everyone should be allowed to have all the guns they want, and gun owners are so responsible and all...

I've always like the crossbow. Especially those cool ones with multi-bolt cartridges.

Yes, they are cool. I might have to look into getting me one, being the responsible crossbow owner that I am, (or could be Cool

).

I'll go out on a limb and guess the shooter didn't purchase their gun legally.......

Kind of a catch 22...I know I said I thought they left him in too long, but you can also look at it from the standpoint that you want Wells (and the rest of the team for that matter) to be ready for that HUGE GAME on Sept. 13 against USC, so the more game-type experience they can get the better. Plus, it's not like he was hit by anyone. The dude just went down. I guess it could have happened at any time. It's just more magnified b/c it happened when the OSU had a big lead.

I tend to work more on the NFL thinking.. if it's a pointless game (aka preseason) don't play your starters.

Besides, I think a strong showing against USC will do the most regardless of what happened against the Penguins. 300 yards against a 1-AA school or 100 yards against a top notch USC.. I'll take the 100 against USC all day. Not that it matters, I don't see OSU getting the Heisman or into the Nat'l title game this year. They shit the pot 2 years in a row and unless they destroy USC (which isn't possible in LA) everyone will point to their pathetic schedule as evidence for why they shouldn't get in.

Of course.. that's assuming Illinois, Wisconsin and/or Penn State don't upset them.
