@atlantanewsfirst: A 17-year-old state champion in track and field is recovering after being shot several times on a MARTA train last Friday. J'Von Easterling, a rising senior at KIPP Atlanta Collegiate, was riding home from a science and engineering program at Georgia Tech when he was shot on June 5. He has undergone multiple leg surgeries and will need another for his hand. The suspect, 42-year-old Anthony Gresham, was arrested two days later in Douglas County and now faces three federal charges. A fundraiser has been set up to support Easterling and his mother. #marta #atlanta #martasafety #crime
What’s the stats with intra-racial violent crimes in ATL? Incarceration rate? And y so high?

So much violence on Marta, especially lately. And violence against women on the beltline. In the middle of the day too. This is madness. So much hate. I’m so sick of this. I pray this young man recovers, get justice and thrives in life.

What a senseless act , this poor young man may recover physically, but I pray he can work past the trauma of this horrific injustice that was done to him . I pray he has medical insurance and can continue with his studies , he sure seems to be on the right path !
