Plymouth township are also sending officers to the funerals. Were learning new details about the teenager gunned down last night. Two of his friends were also hit by bullets, nbc 10 Monique Braxton joins us from southwest philadelphia. Monique, you just learned new information. Reporter thats right. Since we arrived here a short time ago, i can show you some candles at the scene. Police tell us this is where tahir barns was shot after watching a basketball game with teammates just one block away. This young man had nothing do with any of the nonsense going on down here. Now he is gone. Tahir was a good, young man. All the gangs went well, no arguing, no fussing. Packing up, taking the school board, the blower and leaving, you see kids running, you see parents ducking. And you hear gunshots. Reporter hearts are broken
Burns Park in North Little Rock is one of the largest city-owned parks in the nation. The park acreage has a history of private ownership and, subsequently, federal, state and municipal government ownership. The land has been used over the years for farming, timber and military operations as well as for a public park.
The North Little Rock City Council voted unanimously Wednesday to approve a resolution for the city to enter into a $3.1 million contract to rebuild Burns Park s Funland, with a goal of a grand opening by July 4.
