People Took Photos Of Girl, 15, As She Lay Dying

(CBS) MORENO VALLEY, Calif. Partygoers who saw a 15-year-old girl fatally shot at a middle school graduation party used their camera phones to record images of her as she lay dying, it was reported Tuesday.

Brooke Nicole McKinney was wounded at a home in the 24600 block of Freeport Drive about 11:45 p.m. Saturday, and several people used camera phones to record the scene as she lay dying in the driveway, The Press-Enterprise reported.

A boy, who is believed to be 14 years old, was also shot. He survived, but police withheld his name.

So far, police have not identified the shooter.

McKinney, a student at Valley View High School, turned 15 last month and was at the party with some middle school friends.

Anyone with more information was asked to call detectives at (951) 486-6700.

Party-goes take camera phone photos of dying 15 year old girl

I wasn’t sure whether to post this.

CBS TV in Los Angeles published a story of people at a middle school graduation party who took camera phone photos of a 15 year old girl as she lay dying.

A boy, believed to be 14 years old, also was shot at the party, but he has survived. Police are still looking for the assailant.

Sign of the times

This is a very sad sign-of-the-times story. Perhaps partygoers also photographed the girl with digital cameras. But it was camera phones that were the “news hook.
