Please Stop The Violence! 14-Year-Old Boy From Brooklyn Brain Dead After Being Shot In the Head

This news is just so sad, we have to stop the violence people. A 14-year-old boy from Brooklyn is now brain dead after being shot in the head by a bunch of heartless thugs
Via NYPost:
A Brooklyn teen—who friends say graduated from middle school on Tuesday—is now brain-dead after he was shot in the head late yesterday, law-enforcement sources said.
Akeal Christopher, 14, was walking home with his cousin and six other friends from a party when two thugs wearing dark hoodies approached them in Bushwick on the corner of Jefferson Street and Evergreen Avenue shortly before 11 p.m., and asked if they were part of a local gang crew, sources said.
Frightened, Christopher began to run away from the assailants, but they fired at the group, shooting the boy in the cheek, sources said.
A brave neighbor heard the gunfire, and ran out to the street to revive the teen. “I heard four shots,” said Lupe Estrella, 48, a certified EMT whose Cornelia Street home is near the shooting scene.
Estrella performed CPR and tried to revive the teen.
“He had what looked like a bullet right in the center of his forehead,” she said. A second good Samaritan also performed CPR, Estrella said.
EMS rushed Christopher to Brookdale Hospital in very critical condition. A source said the bullet tore apart his brain.
No arrests have been made.
Mediaoutrage- Some family’s heart is broken now because of this. It’s just senseless and we hope every last one of them are caught and locked up.
