Police: 16-year-old boy killed in Tacoma identified as Foss High School student

"No parents are prepared, nor should they be prepared, to bury their child. Trae was smart, funny, charismatic, and an amazing athlete. And yet, he was so much more than words could describe," said Leanna Bordner, Trae's cousin. "Our family is devastated, and our lives will never be the same without our baby boy."

The newly formed ‘Community Trauma Response Team’ was used for the first time since its inception. The team consists of 15 to 20 advocates who respond to traumatic situations to help with the community's emotional needs while Tacoma police and fire departments deal with the initial response. "Our job is to be there, you know, for these families because often times when events like these happen, there’s retaliation and we want to prevent any form of retaliation and allow the law to be able to do their job," said James Watson, the Executive Commander of Tacoma Community Response Team.Anyone with information on this case is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS or use the P3 Tips App on your smartphone. You can remain anonymous and may be eligible for a cash reward.

Hey now. TacomaPD is gonna do a coffee stop about it and it’s gonna fix it this time!

Oh my gosh. Fricking heartbreaking. What will it take for our country to unite and vote in gun safety advocates? Guns are now the 1 cause of death for our babies. Why?!?! Because the NRA owns republicans. Makes me so mad. This poor family. Great young man that didn’t need to die
