Brandon is the presumed gunman, but how did things get so violent so quickly?

Hurts, dont it?

the murdered teenager says.

Theres a moment when Kevin, delirious with fear after shooting Ronnie, cries in Brandons arms.

Kevin makes it home, and his sister helps sneak him back into his bed without their mothers knowledge.

Jerrika wakes up Brandon in tears, which quickly degenerate into punches.

So Brandon and his hangdog expression, along with the weapon, are banished to his mothers house.

She calls her nurse, out of fear of involving the authorities.
