An armed Lakeland man killed a 14-year-old gang member in a shootout Wednesday evening after both drew guns and opened fire, according to the Lakeland Police Department.

“He was a good boy”

Yes, the standard BS. No doubt he loved his dog and loved his family and was an aspiring rapper.

From the article “tate records state he was a convicted felon arrested twice since age 12 for armed robbery with a gun, once for battery on a public or school employee and once for burglarizing a home.”

It is unknown if Canteen holds a state concealed-weapon permit or if he will claim self-defense under the state's "stand your ground" law.

The teen could not legally possess or carry a handgun because of his age.

We'll have all types of folks getting REEEEEEAALL UPSET if Virgil doesn't have a state concealed-weapon permit.

The name of the victim sounds black as well. I do hope he lives.

I wonder if this is one of Barry’s newly arrived “unaccompanied minor” gangbangers.

He wasn't no angel, but he didn't deserve to die for what he did."

he fired a gun and hit another person....he got exactly what he deserved....the other guy was simply a better shot.

The picture of his gang hand signs is for the Latin Kings gang.

” Although the teen had been arrested four times for violent crimes since the age of 12..."

I recently read that 85% of the recently welcomed "unaccompanied minor" illegal alien invaders were between the ages of 12 to 17? This "humanitarian crisis" can only end ugly for American citizens.
