Sorry I don't have a link or the full story. Mum told me earlier - there were heaps of teenagers involved. I was just sitting here feeling sorry for myself and after a day of movies with a sick child and saw it on the news shorts. Off to give my babies (or no so babies) a hug and truly appreciate what I have.

Totally tragic.
You do have to wonder what the parents of the 12 yo, the 14yo and the 16 yos thought their kids were doing at midnight on a Wednesday night.
