I'm sure that they were in the area looking for the Waffle House and just got lost. They are good boys and in no way were they up to "no good." He shot at the policeman because he was afraid it was somebody trying to 'jack him since he has such a desirable ride.
Both of these young men appear to be “gangasta” wantabes. Both are fortunate they aren’t dead. Meanwhile we will support their girlfriend s and children while they are in priding honing their skills.
The sad thing is y'all have no idea what led these boys to do this I personally do and thank God the cop and MY SON are alive
