DENVER — The innocence of after-school fun was lost last week when shots were fired outside the Carla Madison Recreation Center. The family of the teen injured in the shooting has come forward to share their loved one's journey to recovery.
Nearly a week later, community members and students gathered outside of East High School for a prayer vigil. Family members identified 14-year-old RJ Harding as the injured student. They say RJ was shot in the face. Harding said her son had just grabbed some snacks from the 7-Eleven gas station while waiting for her to pick him up. She said her son was walking outside the recreation center with his girlfriend when he was caught in the crossfire.
