Zaevion
Dobson, a
15-year-old high school football player, was a sophomore at Fulton High School in northern Knoxville. On 12/17/15 he was killed as he shielded three
girls from gunfire, covering them with his own body. The police believe that the senseless crime was perpetrated by several men on a shooting spree in Tennessee
on Thursday night.
Dobson was hanging out on a porch with his brother and some friends
when a group of men walked up and started shooting at them, Zach Dobson
said.
Police
said the shooters, who they believe may have been gang-affiliated,
picked a group at random who were 'just hanging out and trying to
celebrate the holidays'.
