Salt Lake City Boys & Girls Club mourns the loss of teenager shot & killed over the weekend
SALT LAKE CITY — The Boys and Girls Club is a getaway from the streets and violence for many kids and teens. They serve meals, provide homework help, and have lots of positive extracurricular opportunities for students.
On Saturday night, they lost one of their own. The victim, a 17-year-old boy, was shot and killed by another teen, according to police. "With the tragic loss of one of our own club kids, it really impacts us deeply," Hughes said."This is their second home, we are their family, so when we lose one, it hurts us all. Our staff are grieving, our kids and teens and friends and family are grieving and hurting, so we're trying to come together to provide resources to cope."
