College Park police are working to find whoever shot a 17-year-old several times while he was selling water.
It happened just before 12:30 Thursday afternoon on the Old National Highway exit ramp off of Interstate 285. Many organizations and community leaders said they aren’t just going to complain but they are taking action to help. “We don’t need to criminalize the water boys we need to provide assistance and guidance,” Civil Rights Attorney Gerald Griggs said. Police said two people inside a car approached four teens selling water and opened fire hitting one of the teens several times. “It’s time for action it’s time for older adults to provide guidance. It’s time for elected officials to provide programs that can help facilitate moving forward for the young men,” Griggs said.
