Thoughts...

Shooting incidents are unpleasant for all concerned. My family is from the Cooperstown area and when I saw this I was a bit put off... There's more from the Daily Star and The Associated Press.

There isn't a lot of detail. One 16-year old shot another. The other is black. The shooter says he hates blacks. Therefor this crime is worse than another shooting where he hates his victim, just 'cause.

Both shooter and victim seem to be doing well. My guess it was the family .22 LR rifle that was used. My second guess, though it might never come out, is that the shooter was on something maybe meth.
