10-Year-Old Victim of New Jersey High School Football Game Shooting Dies of His Wounds
By Adam Weinrib
Another life lost to gun violence at a venue where this absolutely should not have even been a quintessence of a worry.
Micah Tennant, or "Dew," as his friends called him, a 10-year-old boy who was one of three people shot at a New Jersey high school football game last week, has passed away from the wounds he suffered in the attack.
Tennant, along with an unidentified 15-year-old boy, as well as 27-year-old Ibn Abdullah, the target of the attack, were hit, as players and fans scattered following the sound of gunshots.
The disturbing footage is below.
The game, between Camden and Pleasantville High, was suspended at the time of the shooting, and was scheduled to be resumed at Lincoln Financial Field at 4:00 p.m. EST on Wednesday, thanks to the goodness of the Philadelphia Eagles organization.
But that kind gesture cannot undo what has been done; a 10-year-old has lost a life, and become the main character in a story he had no business belonging to.
