BALTIMORE —
A classmate of a 16-year-old student who was killed Monday outside Patterson High School told the 11 News I-Team what happened moments before the shooting.
So far, no arrests have been made in the killing of Izaiah Carter. The mother of a 15-year-old friend of Carter called the I-Team extremely upset about the shooting and a call she said she received from Baltimore City Public Schools
She told the I-Team that the district wanted to transfer her son to another school. She said she found out why after talking to her son.
The boy told the I-Team that he and a group of friends were with Izaiah in the moments before shots were fired in Joseph E. Lee Park on East Pratt Street near the school. He said they had been bullied and threatened, and so they decided to leave school to fight other students who are Hispanic.
But after getting to the park, they noticed someone in the other group had a gun.
"He pulled out a gun and then we all just started running, dropped our stuff and started running," he said. "I didn't look at nobody. We all just started running. We heard the shots and we were running."
The boy's mother told the I-Team she had no idea her son was involved until someone from the district called her Tuesday night and said the district wanted to transfer her son for his safety.
"I got a call and they said they were going to transfer my son to another school because they feared retaliation due to the fights that occurred previously before the incident, before the shooting," she said.
She worries about whether to transfer her son to another school.
"If you send your kids to school, you expect them to be protected and watched," she said.
