Glaxony,
Gang initiation does sound like a good explanation of what could've happened. You being a counselor of young men involved with gang affiliated issues, I was curious if they ever felt regret or guilt for what they did to harm others or potentially harm others???
It is too bad that there really was no explanation while the police were investigating and filling out the report,and I wasn't in the mind-frame to ask questions or do any inquiring about the situation at that time.
I am thankful every day, and truly know that someone was watching over me on that day.
