Hundreds Flock to Guilford Green For Vigil For Teen Killed
Friends of The Song family brave freezing temperatures to pay tribute to 15-year-old who was killed by gun shot on Wednesday.
GUILFORD, CT - Hundreds upon hundreds of people came to the Guilford Green Friday night and paid tribute to Ethan Song, the 15-year-old teenager who was killed Wednesday night by a gun shot in a home on Seaside Avenue.
The hundreds who were there braved brutal temperatures, held candles and shared stories and hugs about Ethan - and his family.
Speakers, including Ethan’s dad Mike Song, talked about what a "special family" the Song's were - and what a special boy Ethan was, noting his GoFundMe page has already raised more than $75,000 in one day - because all the money being raised by the family is going to causes that Ethan cared so dearly about.
