Wednesday morning at approximately 6:30, an unknown number of students were awaiting the school bus at Dr. W.J. Hodge and West Chestnut Street, in the Russell neighborhood, when a vehicle drove by and began shooting.
Killed was 16-year-old Tyree Smith, a student at Eastern High School. Another male teenager was wounded in the shooting and transported to a hospital. A third juvenile suffering unknown injuries refused medical treatment.
