On Monday October 29 Jatwan Craig Cuffie, 16, a ninth grader at Butler High School shot and killed 10th grader
Bobby McKeithen. The fight broke out at approximately 7 a.m. Some students claimed they were aware of the fight, but not aware of Cuffie bringing a gun. After the shot(s) were fired police say “crowded halls immediately cleared and the school went on lockdown”. Cuffie (left) was charged with first degree murder on Monday afternoon. It is not clear if Cuffie had a lawyer or not. The principal of Butler High School says he is “incredibly saddened by the fact that we had a loss of life on one of our campuses today.”

On Monday afternoon students and parents gathered at BHS in Matthews, NC (outside of Charlotte) to remember and mourn student Bobby McKeithen (right).
