Another friend was killed. "Doing the right thing, you shouldn't get an award for it, but I am honored to receive it, of course, I just feel like it's just the right thing," Sellers said. He was awarded the Honor Medal from the BSA. http://abclocal.go.com/wpvi/story?section=news/local/chicago_news&id=9442642 Scout Salute. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
moosetracker 132 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Nice article.. But a shame Chicago is so well known for these gun shootings.. It seems like it is a scary place to walk down the street, and the park shooting seem so popular, it is the last place to go to.. It's a shame.. Wish the story was more detailed about the friend who was killed and if they caught or how the search is going for the people responsible.. Link to post Share on other sites
