Melody Ross's father, Vannaret, throws himself onto his daughter's coffin as pallbearers look on. Racked by pain and disbelief, Melody's family and friends struggle to make sense of the sixteen year old being killed by a stray bullet fired by a gangmember. "Every kid our age -- we don't ever think we're going to die," said Dylan Vassberg who shared a chemistry class with Melody. "We never think that. We think we're going to college and we're going to have a long life and die of old age. Not die because someone decided to shoot a gun. "
