Darryl Williams, 15, is shot and left paralyzed.

An African-American sophomore football player at Jamaica Plain High School, he is shot just before the second half of a game on the field at Charlestown High School. Three Charlestown teenagers, who were up on the roof of the Bunker Hill public housing development a hundred yards away and claimed to have been shooting at pigeons with a .22 caliber rifle, are subsequently charged in the shooting. One is found not guilty, and the other two are sentenced to prison. Upon their release, one is shot and killed in Charlestown. The other graduates from college, becomes a motivational speaker, as does Williams, who dies on March 28, 2010.
