Spragga Benz' Son Carlton, Gunned Down At 17
Spragga Benz is now mourning the loss of his 17 year-old son Carlton Grant who was gunned down by police over the weekend.
According to police reports at about midnight, members of a police squad were patrolling Down Town Kingston when they pounced upon two men riding a bicycle along Church Street.
The men were signaled to stop which they did. The officers then approached the men when one of the men pulled a handgun and fired several shots at the officers. The lawmen then returned fire hitting Grant who ran but was later found suffering from gunshot wounds. Grant was rushed to Kingston Public Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Police say a semi-Automatic pistol was found on Grant.
Our heart felt condolences go out the family!

If this is true, why are there condolences for this when it's being said that slim pulled out a gun & fired at police, then they found a gun on ol boy? Sad to see a young soul taken, but it could possibly been prevented if slim ain't pull a dumb move like that.

Regardless the reasons behind the death, he was still somebody's loved one . A parent has still lost a child and that in and of itself is deserving of condolences..at least I think so.
