“We don’t want this moment to define James’s life,” the pastor said. “Part of the events of the past week will be part of his story. But I want you to know it’s not all of his story.”“We are a community who is grieving, grieving with this family and grieving with so many other families as well,” Roberts said.
Based on the teen's estimated direction of travel, police believe James Thompson was shot first, the report said.

Police believe the teen shot Marcille Lynn Gardner, who was found wounded in the driveway, then fired at Nicole Connors, 52, who lived in the house. Connors was shot on her porch and later died. Gardner, 60, remains hospitalized.
