“She was such a great kid while she was a part of our program”, one of the youth employment staff members said, according to a POIC statement.
“She’s distraught about the gravity of this”, Abood said after the brief hearing.
Three were still in critical condition and five others remained hospitalized. “I’m a mature young woman who has broken many generational cycle(s) that those before me hadn’t”.
According to TMZ, she was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of her arrest.
