Hockey community holds vigil for CBC student hit by stray bullet
As police search for information, the community rallies around the family.
O'FALLON, Ill. A 16-year-old hockey player and CBC student remains in critical condition in the hospital after being struck by a stray bullet on I-55 near Loughborough.
Colin Brown sat in the passenger seat as his father drove them home after a hockey game.
St. Louis police said the gunfire came from the southbound lanes as the Browns were driving north.
More than a hundred people came to the McKendree Rec Plex for Colin and his family for a prayer vigil.
O'Fallon Hockey Coach Scott Loehring said he was devastated.
It's hard. I also have three children. And each of them we make that trip four to five times a week. So knowing how random it is, it hits very close to home, Loehring said.
Colin played for O'Fallon for several years, but currently plays for the Afton Americans and CBC.
Former teammate Chase Green, who now coaches at O'Fallon, held back tears during the vigil.
When he first came to the program, he was like most of us: he was quiet. Not outgoing, but last year he came out of his shell and became a leader on the team, Green said.
The Dawg Nation Hockey Foundationa nonprofit organization that supports amateur hockey players and families in times of crisis, began raising money for the family immediately after hearing the news.
The number of people who have already reached out, shared and donated everything has been quite overwhelming, said Chad ONeil of Dawg Nation.
The hockey community knows no boundaries and while it is made up of players from all over the metro area, it is still a family that showed up for the Browns and will continue through it.
“I would like them to know that coming from the Dawg Nation, they don't have to worry about finances or what might be around the corner,” Dawg Nation President Jared Schmierbach said.
Loehring said he wants the family to know they are not alone. We love you. We have your back 100%. And we are your family and we are here for you, he said.
