Part 2/6:
The tragic event centered around Charles Leto, a former lifeguard at the pool, who is now accused of firing a handgun that resulted in the death of a 15-year-old boy and injuries to a 14-year-old juvenile. According to reports, Leto was repairing his bicycle chain when a group of boys approached him. Allegedly, Leto then seized a pistol from his backpack and discharged it, striking the teenagers.
While Leto claims the shooting was an act of self-defense, the families and legal representatives contend otherwise. The lawsuit alleges that the teenagers were unarmed and posed no threat at the time of the shooting. The incident has deeply shocked the community, especially considering that the pool is a place where children and families gather for recreation.
