Candlelight Vigil Held for Joshua Savyon

A candlelight vigil was held Friday night for Joshua Savyon, the 9-year-old boy who was killed by his father on Sunday, according to WMUR. The vigil was held on the Village Green in Amherst, and was attended by dozens of friends and family members.

"He was always with a smile,” Savyon's baseball coach, Ken Birse, told WMUR. "He didn’t really care where he was playing as long as he was part of the team. He really loved being part of the team."
