Todd Brown, Discovery Middle School Shooting Victim Dies
Todd Brown, the Discovery Middle School Shooting victim has died. The ninth grade student was shot in the head in a hallway just outside the band room of Discovery Middle School in Alabama. The shooter is in custody, but is unidentified because of his age. The shooter has been charged with murder.
According to another student, it could be gang related, but this is unconfirmed.
While authorities have not cited a motive, another student told WAAY-TV, a CNN affiliate, of a possible reason for the shooting. "It was some discussion about gang-related things and the shooter just got fed up with it," said student Jeremy Tuttle.
No other students or faculty were harmed in the incident.
There are two Facebook groups dedicated to Todd Brown also. Just sign in to Facebook and search 'todd brown' in groups.
There will be a community meeting regarding this event at Bob Jones High School on Sunday February 7th at 2pm.

hello, maybe if it was gang related, but he had no reason to kill someone just because he was fed up with it. i mean , honestly. we dont know everything that had happened all we know is that a young kid as we call child has killed another student maye out of anger, or something, that hasnt came up as we know now of. but to me being young and in school a school shooting makes me feel unsalf at a public school or any public ativitys as of that matter. me or anyone else doesnt really any right to being making asumputions. about the shooting untill we know the truth, maybe yall feel different about the whole thing. but this is really up to the court of law and the law inforcement. thank you summer. and Mrs. Mr. Brown i am terribly sorry for your lost. my prayers will be wih you and your family.

I knew todd for only one day but he was such a sweet & polite kid. Its so sad that this happened to him. He was the soon to be brother in law of my best friend. Todd's nephew turned 1 month old on the day he was killed and it breaks my heart to know that baby corbin will never get a chance to know his uncle. God rest his soul and please help the Brown family make it through this. RIP TODD

until about 3 minutes ago, I thought what happened last Friday was a lie. to be honest, I still feel like it is. I'm not really sure what to do. part of me wants to continue and say this never happened, and the rest of me just wants to lay down and think what could've possessed someone to commit such a heinous crime. I'm still praying for both the suspect and the victim's family. neither needs it any more than the other. Todd went to my school last year and the year before, though I never knew him as he's a year older than me. I found out only 10 minutes after it happened, right about the time it came up on the news, but my friend texted me and asked if I heard what happened. she told me his name before it was realeased on the news, and I knew I'd heard it before, so I looked him up in my yearbook. I recognized his face. I used to pass him in the halls last year. my homeroom teacher talked to us about it on Monday. she told us she's only ever taught one seventh grade class, and it had 14 students in it. Todd was one of those students. I almost started crying. but this was when I didn't believe any of this happened. you didn't deserve this. nobody did, and nobody does. rest in peace. we will never forget you.

IF this is a gang related incident, and I say "IF" then I hope and pray all of you young people on here remember how heartbreaking this was for you and never become a gang member. RIP Todd!!
