Classes were over for the day at an Englewood elementary school Tuesday, but instead of heading home students gathered outside to remember a classmate gunned down along with two relatives over the weekend.
“Every time you were down, he would come make a joke to make you happy because he knew that’s how we lift each other up,” one student said as orange and black balloons were released for 13-year-old William Smith. “Now that he’s gone, we don’t get that same type of energy.”
