Lorri L. Jean, CEO of the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center, teared up during a Feb. 15 news conference at the Jeff Griffith Youth Center as she talked about the “terrible tragedy” of the shooting death of 15-year-old Lawrence King by his 14-year-old classmate in Ventura County.
“This event is a terrible tragedy – but it’s even more so because Larry King and Brandon [McInerney, the alleged shooter] were still children,” said Jean.
You could hear a pin drop in the packed room as she seemed to speak for the whole community.
