Family and friends have also organized a prayer vigil Monday afternoon at Bryant Park in Lake Worth. The boy had been sent home earlier in the day for throwing water balloons in class. He returned with a gun in the afternoon. Police said he knocked on Grunow's door and said he wanted to say goodbye to two girls in the class. They say that when Grunow refused him entry, the teen-ager pulled a gun from his pocket and fired one shot.
Police say a surveillance camera documented the boy's role in the shooting.
The shooting took place just minutes before classes were scheduled to recess for summer vacation at Lake Worth Middle School. Based on the evidence we have, I don't believe the grand jury will have any trouble returning an indictment of first- degree murder. In Florida only a grand jury has the power to bring a charge of first degree murder. Under state law, if Brazill is convicted on that charge, he will face a mandatory sentence of life in prison without parole. The boy is being held at a juvenile detention facility.
