It is so sad that another child has been shot in natchitoches. Natchitoches is my hometown and I hate to hear how bad things are getting. Things are getting bad everywhere, not just in natchitoches . My prayers go up for the young man and his family. May God keep his loving arms of protection around you all.
Natchitoches seems to be headed toward becoming a non-permissive environment.
This is absolutely a shame. A child is fighting for their life. Raise your kids better and stop the violence a life is something that can never be replaced. Prayers for the victim.
Looks like a near total breakdown….just another day in Natchitoches.
Is this for real? Is this what our community has come to? Please people stop with all the hate and violence.
I agree! People need to ask Jesus in their heart! I pray this young man will be ok. So sad!
