A teenager was killed and at least two others are being investigated in connection with his death after a house party for high school students spilled out of control and erupted into a brawl. But what emerged from interviews with deputies, family members and friends is a picture of a violent clash during a party. A homeowner threw a birthday party for his son. Dozens of friends were there including high school junior, Gregory Kennedy.
Apparently there was a scuffle between some of the teenagers and then the group of rivals left. Sometime later, a group of SUV's showed up to the party. In the SUV's were some of the students from the original fight. At least one person had a baseball bat or pipe. Someone smashed a window at the home and everyone went outside, including Kennedy.
Neighbors and deputies say that at least two dozen teenagers fought in the front yeard and the street. Someone called 911 and the group scattered, leaving Kennedy on the ground, bleeding and unconscious. When authorities got there, they did CPR on Kennedy and briefly revived him. He was then flown to a nearby hospital and put on life support.
On Wednesday morning, his mother had doctors remove Kennedy from life support. She said her son was in the wrong place at the wrong time. - Why do parents think it's okay to throw parties for their underaged kids? There's no telling what will happen, especially when there's alcohol involved. Now hundreds of lives are affected and many lives ruined for a parents bad judgement.
