A 14-year-old boy was killed at a bus stop in Tacoma last month. His name was Xaviar Siess. He died in what is now the most common way for any American child to lose their life: getting shot. (1/?)

He was 14 and headed to the mall. Tacoma residents mourn boy’s killing, call for change

A spate of gun violence in the Tacoma area so far this year has left three teenagers dead. Xaviar Siess was the first and youngest.
