“I was like, why shoot him?!,” Fazli continued. “Hopefully he just gets through. He’s a good person at heart, so hopefully Allah got him.”
Another woman who says she is the mom of a teen and a local pastor also visited the hospital. Lakesha Martin says she does not know the victim but felt moved to come and pray for him and his family.
"I am sorrowful for the parents because I can’t imagine my 15-year-old, I have another 15-year-old, in there. He’s not just my son. This son or daughter should be all of ours and we should be praying. My heart is very heavy and all I can do is pray and hopefully that God will work a miracle here. We know him to be a miracle worker so I’m going to call him what he is," said Lakesha Martin.
