The students at North Community High School in Minneapolis have seen a lot. Some things, morbid curiosities: a bullet, freshly fired, spinning and melting the rubber on the track surrounding the school’s football field.
Others, much more painful: the murder of Deshaun Hill Jr., shot and killed two years ago just blocks from the school. He was 15 years old, and the quarterback of the football team.
“That was my best friend, so we did everything with each other. I feel like that’s the toughest thing, just knowing that he’s not physically by my side anymore,” senior Kahlil Brown says.
