Billey Joe Johnson was a top-rated high school football player and sought after by several schools across the country, now he is dead after a self-inflicted gun shot wound. (postchronical.com)
Now here's where it gets interesting...
The officer had left Johnson in his vehicle and returned to his squad car when he heard a gun shot. Johnson was then seen by the officer, laying on the ground next to his car with a shot gun lying on him.
A shot gun suicide? In a car? By one of the most sought-after football players in the country? In Mississippi?
Ok - I admit my first thought was quite the obvious. The cop did it. But this isn't the 1950's anymore - it's pretty well known that kids can be stupid, or depressed, or simply clumsy.
I hope for his family and the greater community that the truth is found & accepted, and that the community isn't torn apart in the ensuing investigation.
