I live a block away from the Badminton Hall. The kid that died? Lived across the street. I didn't know him or anything, but that's the closest to home any major crime has been to me. Dad told me about it when I got home from
pandoras_evil_t's last night. The police were by earlier today conducting their investigation, but of course I didn't really have anything useful.
