ESSEX — Heartbroken and mystified over their teenage son’s suicide almost five months ago, Essex parents Ge Wu and Shuwan Xue are still searching for answers and, at the same time, reaching out to other parents and teenagers in the hope that another tragedy might be averted.

    Aaron Bing Xue was 15, an Essex High School freshman and the school’s No. 1 singles tennis player, when he took his life behind the school library on the night of Friday, April 17, 2009.

    He used a handgun belonging to the family of another youth. That youth had taken two guns and ammunition from his home earlier that day and hid them in a wooded area near Aaron’s house. This is a fact that police can confirm, Essex Police Captain Brad LaRose said, but because the case involves juveniles and Aaron’s death was classified as an “unwitnessed death,” certain information must remain confidential.

I think this is absolutely aweful. Having lost a child myself, I can only imagine what they must be feeling. I went to a siminar last year on the bullying of one of these young men and bullying is terriibe. It is awful. However, I do not think it was the gun owners fault. Sometimes things in life happen when you just have to say "it happened" there may not be any one at fault or any one thing. Life is what it is whether we understand it or not. My heart feels for this family.

What a tragic story!  It's sad that sometimes people think that the only solution is death.
