This young man was a friend of my kids from High School, probably a PCCC student before this incident. He was a graduate from Manchester Regional if I'm not mistaken, sad end for a bright student. My daughter told me how intelligent and smart he was in school. We don't know anything about his reasons but send condolescences to his family and friends.
