RIP. So tired of all the killing.. I wonder what transpired. The shooter stayed at the scene until police arrived, and then was charged with first degree murder.

Heartbreaking. I remember Payne befriending Lacey Holsworth. I hope they are enjoying each other's company again right now.

Very good point Mike. Was very touching what Payne meant to Lacey and her family !

When Sparty made the Regionals at MSG - the year before we joined the Big 10 - I had seats in the MSU section and the Holsworth Family sat right behind me.

Were you there with me for those games or was your brother? i can't remember.

Just Tom. I was laid up with cellulitis. The extra ticket went to Dan, IIRC.

Full details are out now, he was with his girlfriend trying to place peacemaker between the shooter and his gf (Payne's girl and shooters girl were friends). Other couple had numerous instances of issues, sounds like Payne's gf often interceded. So long story short, a piece of trash shot him for no good reason.
