Considering how the media likes to emphasize certain things, I'm glad they aren't mentioning his gun. If he had one legally, it didn't really matter and didn't really help. Wasn't part of the story. This story explains why there was as chase anyhow-that part didn't really seem to make sense to me but chasing after a wallet thief makes more sense. I'm even more totally disgusted now hearing the circumstances around the actual shooting. In today's society, you have to damn near be paranoid when it comes to other people today. It's a damn shame.

Hey DC good to see you around. The NY Daily News says that the gun was licensed in both Georgia and Florida.

This is truely sad

Vernon seemed like one of the good guys in the sport. This is getting crazy with fighters going like this

[HattonTheHammer]

jesus christ another one. The boxing gods sure are pissed for some reason

Forrest never did it for me but you have to respect any guy with a record like his and anyone that is killed so early into their lives is tragic


RIP - thoughts and prayers go out to the family

R.I.P. Vernon.
