Police in Ferguson are yet to name any suspect in the shooting that killed a 9yo and left her 34yo mom wounded in the leg, right inside their bedroom on Tuesday. In a plea by the girl's father James Bolden, he said;... "Do it for a 9-year-old child that didn't even get to see the rest of the world," Bolden told KMOV.
This happened just a few blocks away from where Michael Brown was killed by police that sparked riot and protests in the County earlier in the year.
"I never in a million years thought that I'd be laying my daughter to rest," the father added. Bolden's grandmother, who owns the home, ran into the bedroom after the 9:30 p.m. shooting. "I kept holding and holding her," the grandmother, who asked not to be named, told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "I still have her blood on my hands. She was still breathing. I was telling her to just breathe," msn reported.
Bolden, described as sweet and soft-spoken fourth-grader at Koch Elementary School, was supposed to take a reading assessment test Wednesday. "There needs to be a re-evaluation of human life: (whether) black, white, young, seasoned, whether in Ferguson, or areas considered affluent," Pastor Willis Johnson told KMOV. "This has to stop. This epidemic of lost life under false pretence and of no real significant reason has to change." MSN.
