Too Bad this idiot father did not teach his daughter NOT to be stupid!
I wander if her friends had wanted her to jump off a bridge, would she have followed? Would the father want to ban bridges???????
This tragedy could have been averted with a little gun safety training
during this young lady's formative years. Unfortunately many people
attempt to protect their children by keeping them ignorant. I don't
care what the problem is it will not be solved through ignorance.
Education is the only way to prevent tragedies like these. If Kelly
Logan would channel some of his grief into promoting meaningful gun
safety classes for children he might help to prevent others from making
the same mistake his daughter made.

A victim's father cries - and acts
(Wed, Oct/08/2003)
Grief is a powerful motivator.
Grief is pushing a Willingboro father to turn his estimable talents to creating
a foundation devoted to snuffing out gun violence, and to lobbying his former colleagues
in the Willingboro Police Department to set up a weapons-surrender program.
Kelly Logan's daughter, Latrece, lost her life Friday. Authorities say a game of
Russian roulette went terribly wrong, and the popular 16-year-old died in the parking
lot of a neighborhood shopping center.
An 18-year-old classmate, Maurice Howard of Willing-boro, faces charges of aggravated
manslaughter in the tragedy.
Once more, a bullet has ripped through the fabric of a community. But if Kelly Logan
has his way, that will happen less and less.
A Willingboro High School football star of years gone by and a former police officer,
Trece's dad wants to raise awareness of the danger that ensues when teenagers and
guns intersect.
There is no greater hell than the death of a child. Now a father who's been there
is doing something positive. We hope it helps bring him and his family peace of
mind. And we pray Trece's Foundation will knock some sense into adults who put guns
into hands too immature to carry them.
