16-year-old Hillside High School student Jalen Thompson Johnson was shot and killed early yesterday as he donned a mask, claimed to be a police officer, and tried to kick in the door of a Durham, NC apartment.

Unfortunately for Johnston, the homeowner was not only also armed, he was a better shot.

A teen was shot to death while trying to force his way into an apartment in Durham Monday morning, police said. The resident of the apartment was injured in the shooting.

The school’s principal, Dr. William Logan, said Johnson was a “great kid” and called his death a “loss to our school.”

Principal needs to be fired for not seeing and appreciating that an armed thug is not and cannot be a great kid. His death is not a loss to anyone. Celebrate one less criminal.

Let me guess, the mother said that her baby was a little angel who didn’t do nothing.

Do people even know what a “great kid” is anymore?

Committing an robbery is not the definition of a “great kid”. The school principal probably doesn’t even know that kid, probably why he is a “great kid”, the principal would only know the names of the frequent flyers to his office, heck he probably doesn’t even do discipline, that is why he has 5 vice principals

I bet he was “daddy-less.” Fits the profile.

I knew a kid like that. As a teen he liked to play cop and pull people over and write tickets. His dad had been a reserve officer.

After a stint in the Navy to keep from going to prison for impersonation, he kidnapped the sister of a guy who owed him money and kept her at gunpoint for a month while eluding the authorities. No sex, just intimidation.

A maid opened the hotel room door, girl bolted, kid fled in his car and wrecked out on the Interstate. Cops blew his head off with a shotgun when he wouldn’t put his rifle down. If memory serves correctly, it was a rather realistic looking BB gun. Sorry way for him to end his own life and a disservice to the poor police officers who had to deal with him.

Yeah, a “real good kid.”/S

A long time ago, I happened to be in a friend's apartment at the wrong time. (That relationship had become decreased in interaction over the preceding years)

That friend, who would have been deemed an easy mark, occasionally dabbled in drugs; and apparently two people wanted it & came after it right as I was visiting.

So I know what it's like to have a gun pointed @ me during an apartment robbery.

Those two gun-toters back in that day who robbed a disabled person were hoodlums & could in no way be defined "great" in any way.

Neither was this hoodlum; he was no adolescent "trick or treater."

Of course, his description wouldn’t be complete without a picture of him at 7 years old. What kind of racist would shoot a kid like this?

Should schools have those gun detectors that airports have?
Sad state of America.

The teenager left dead after the gunfire, Jalen Johnson, was a student at Hillside High School in Durham. The school’s principal, Dr. William Logan, said Johnson was a “great kid” and called his death a “loss to our school.”

His death was more like a cleansing of the gene pool. Thank God no one was raped/murdered and the resident of the apartment was armed.
