Comments about ‘Teen dies after shooting himself in mall parking lot’

this is his brother and i think the people can believe what they want but i know my bro didn't have her hostage. none of this was his fault...he was looking forwarded to a full and rewarding life! so rest in peace bro i will always love u

Well, I hope they mention the guy and the girl's name. Because, im really curious to find out who it is. I go to Granger. Lol ;]

They often don't release names of those under 18 if there is the possibility of a crime being committed.

Whatever happened, 17 is too young to die.

Rene,
Sorry about your brother, he was one of my favorite students. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

I work at the mall and there is a lot of wrong details in the story.

Nobody will ever understand our loss unless you have experienced it for yourself. Please don't be ignorant when you leave your comments there are alot of people's feelings at stake. Honestly your negative comments really are not important or need to be heard. If you can not sympathize then don't bother opening your mouth. He was loved by everyone who knew him and will be greatly missed, remember that all you hear are STORIES...and stories are meant to be untrue. Don't take what you hear and run with it. Some things are best left unsaid.

Trinny, there is no lol about this story.

My eldest daughter graduated from Granger last school year and for all I know she could know this young man. And to Trinny this is no laughing matter. So sorry for the loss of this young man. I guess that's why I always thought it's not a good idea to be in a serious relationship when so young. Our prayers are with you at this time.

He is my cousins son, I remember him before they moved over to Utah. This is probably the worst thing a mother can do so my thoughts and prayers are with you all...jme

My daughters attend Granger High School & were
devastated to hear of this horrible trajedy... Our
family suffered a loss similar that forever
changed our lives. Our love & prayers go out to
the family & friends who are grieving.

Nancy Im so sorry for your tragic loss. I lost my brother last September to suicide. You and my family are in my prayers.

My daughter does know both of them involved. Not my eldes, but my youngest. Rene's brother was in my daughter's 9th gr. math class and they sat together and were paired to work out the math problems in class. She was always so grateful for his help cause she said he was always smarter then her in that class. They were close friends. She goes to a different high school then he did, but she still thinks highly of him. She also grew up with the girl and they were close friends until Jr. high. My daughter also feels that the story is just that a STORY. It's not the facts.

I JUST WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT HE WAS THE NICESET PERSON A PERSON WOULD EVER KNOW. RENE JUST HANG IN THERE I KNOW WHAT YOU FEEL LIKE I LOST MY DAD LAST SEPTEMBER. SO IF THERES ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO HELP JUST COME TO GRANGER AND THE PEOPLE THERE WOULD BE ENLIGHTED TO HELP YOU AND YOUR FAMILY WITH THERE NEEDS. I'M SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSSS. HE WAS A GREAT WRESTLER,FRIEND,SON,AND PROBABLY A UNCLE. HE WILL BE DEARLY MISSED. BUT REST IN PARADISE FRIEND..YOU TOOK OUR HEARTS WITH YOU. YOU AND YOUR FAMILY IN IN OUR PRAYRERS...WE WILL MISS YOU AND LOVE YOU DEARLY

he was one of the most kind, loving, caring people i could ever know. ive known him since the 5th grade and ever since then we have been really close friends. he loved his girlfriend more than anything on this earth, he would never hold her hostage. and for those of you that have negative things to say, keep those comments to yourself. we lost a great person yesterday who will never be forgotten.
i love you big bro, may you rest in paradise, til we meet again.

Rene, I am sorry for your loss. I just lost my brother almost a month ago so I understand your pain. Remember we are all God's children and He loves us. I don't know your family but I am sure your brother was a wonderful person! Ignore rude comments made by others and forget the stories in the paper. Truth will prevail. Your family will be in my prayers.

To all family and friends of this young man, I offer my sincere condolences. As others have said, a story is just that, and all the facts and circumstances will never be known, and are less important than the fact that you have suffered a terrible loss, and the community has lost a young man who, from all responses so far, was a kind, loving and compassionate person and for that we all have suffered a loss.

He was the most caring, kind, respectful and nicest person i ever met. he always made me smile even when i was sad. he will never ever ever be forgotten by me. my prayers are with his mom, brother, and dad! i didn't go to granger, but i worked with him. i will miss him dearly!! i pray every night. Rene hang in there! and mey he rest in peace. untill we meet again!

I was one of the 3 witness that had to go to the police and talk about what happened at the mall on the 9th. I was parked right beside his car. I swear this whole event has changed the way I look at life as well as how I look at people. I am praying for the family and the young girl as well. Its unbelivable.
