## Resource

A tragic shooting at a Casey’s gas station claimed the life of 17-year-old Raytown High School student Joshua Lewis, who was fatally wounded just after 1 PM. A witness, Elizabeth Baquedano, pulled over to help, staying with him until paramedics arrived, telling him he was loved. Police spent hours at the scene, using a K-9 unit to search for evidence, while a separate, mysterious police operation involving rifles and bicycle removals occurred nearby — its connection remains unclear. A pastor who had just left the area expressed relief his congregation wasn’t present but profound grief for Joshua. As the investigation continues, Joshua’s family finds solace in knowing he was not alone in his final moments. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
