Hi everyone it's Zack and i found this story on www.courant.com
Back on August 9th there was a parade in upper Hartford on Main Street. The person that was suspected to have done the shooting has been caught and placed in custody. He turned out to be a 17 year old named Michael Ledbetter and he has a $1.4 million bond. Ledbetter is believed to be a part of a gang known as West Hell and he was caught on Wednesday near Bowles Park. He is charged with murder, criminal possession of a weapon, aiding and abetting (not sure what that is), unlawful discharge of a firearm and risk of injury to a minor. Sadly, a 21 year old man named Ezekiel Roberts was killed as well as injuring a 7 year old boy, four teenager, and others. Police Chief Daryl Roberts says 3 suspects were taken into custody and 3 guns were recovered. The police expect to make several more arrests related to the shooting at the August 9th parade.

Excellent reporting on the story! Keep them coming!
Good work, Zach. Try to find out what "aiding and abetting" is. Also, the violence in Hartford has led to some unusual (and controversial) measures this summer. You might want to look into that... B
Wow! I didn't know that! Great reporting. Keep up the good work.
4/5, Zach.
