RIP Kile Glover…Prayers Go Out to Tameka Foster and Family

Posted on by

What a sad sad week it’s been.  Almost two weeks ago we reported that Tameka Foster’s son, Kile, was in an accident when he was ran over by a jet-ski while he was in an innertube hanging out with family and friends at a lake in Georgia. He was immediately airlifted to a nearby hospital and has been declared brain dead by doctors since he came in. But still Tameka waited & the world prayed for a miracle for Kile. Reports started swarming this morning that the family decided to remove him from life support, but reliable sources are now stating that his heart indeed stopped on it’s own.

Aurora police chief Dan Oates told reporters that 10 people died at the scene of the shooting and four others died after being taken to local hospitals. At least 50 other people were injured, Oates said.

One suspect was apprehended in the shopping center’s parking lot, Oates said.

The incident occurred in the Century 16 Movie Theaters at the Aurora Town Center, police told NBC News. Aurora is a suburb less than 10 miles east of downtown Denver. 

NBC station KUSA-Denver cited a witness as seeing a black-clad 6-foot-tall man wearing a riot helmet, goggles and bullet-proof vest. The witness and her boyfriend crawled to the emergency exit, KUSA said.

The suspect was found in possession of a gas mask and two firearms, Oates said. Ammunition was found in the suspect’s car, police said.
