“No family should ever have to bury a child at this age,” said Cantrell. “As you can imagine, this is one of the hardest things all of us have ever went through. The grandfather will not rest easy until justice is served for Candace.”
Justice for what the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office called a “horrible accident.” The office said the 17-year-old was with friends in the backyard of a home when someone shot her.
As of Thursday night, they have not said what exactly happened or if any charges will be filed, only that Candace knew the person who shot her.
“This is also for the grandparents. They would like for people to know how they feel about the situation,” Cantrell said. “We don’t believe that guns kill people. We believe people kill people and whether there was foul play involved or not in this situation, that gun ended up in the hands of a minor who should not have had possession of that weapon. Somebody out there has to take responsibility and accountability for that.”
The student was killed Tuesday at around 8 p.m. in the area of Bowdon Junction Road in Mount Zion.
