The father of a teen who was wounded in a Fourth of July weekend mass shooting in Philadelphia says his son's best friend lost his life trying to protect his child.
He said the two friends were out in the Kingsessing neighborhood enjoying the extended Independence Day weekend when the shooting unfolded. He said the two boys had gone to a corner store to buy drinks and when they emerged, they encountered the gunman, alleged to be 40-year-old Kimbrady Carriker, who police said was wearing a body armor.
"Imagine your best friend losing his life trying to help you and you see him. How could you cope with that at a young age? He’s just now going through puberty. He's going to need a lot of counseling," Fitzgerald said of his child. "There’s not even enough justice that could really repay for this. My son lost his friend forever. He’s mentally never going to be right."
