awful news. condolences to Tyson Gay and their family. Being out at 4 a.m. is an obvious issue that would merit attention for the parents, who may not have known she was out. A murder is on an entirely different level and should be completely distinguished from the former. Anyone who thinks that guns should be so easily accessible in this society has a screw loose.

Nike required Tyson, as part of his post-return contract with them, to train in Los Angeles with doping coach John Smith. Tyson spends most of his time in Los Angeles and was there when his daughter was shot.

So many classless people trying to turn this into some sort of parenting or social issue. Seriously, have some class, people. A man's daughter is needlessly dead.

Maybe she had a paper route.

I agree it is a terrible tragedy. But asking the users here (and let's face it, the World Famous Message Boards aren't exactly known for their progressive, liberal, egalitarian views) is like poking a sleeping bear while having fresh salmon tied to your waist.

My college coach used to say: nothing good happens after midnight.

Now please be sensitive, no comments please on a 15year-old hanging out at 4 a.m.

Nike to blame, as usual wrote:

So now Uncle Phil can add family destruction to his resume, along with child slavery in Vietnam.

Not likely yet. Training for pro athletes, or at least pro sprinters, in this area normally doesn't start until November:. Gay, Felix, English Gardner, Dawn Harper, and such.

A diner at 4:am??

Nothing wrong with that. Teenagers are out that late. Being at a friends house for the night and heading out to get food in the very early morning or late night happens all the time. If she was staying with an upperclassmen friend with a car its even more realistic.

It happens, and has nothing to do with her parenting whatsoever.

It was a senseless death.

No, looks like he was in LA - "I'm so confused. She was just here last week for fall break."

Yeah, and the news stated he said that "from the airport" so he must have been at the airport in Los Angeles to fly back to Kentucky.

A lot of ugly comments here. It's embarrassing and a lot of you should be ashamed.

This is a tragedy, condences to her family.

Condolences to the Gay family. Know your family is in the thoughts of the running community.

This never should happen.

What's ugly, embarrassing, and shameful, is that Trinity Gay, statistically stood a much greater chance of getting killed by random black on black violence, while the thug who killed her has a MUCH lower chance of being killed by the police. But whose death will be politicized by the media, and professional black hucksters; Whose death will Soros and BLM come riding to with its cavalry of rioters and arsonists, and whose death will the black community be mostly silent about?

Oh yeah everybody let's celebrate the fact that you are more likely to be killed by a street thugs than an armed government agent sworn to protect citizens!

Now, if it were oppopsite, then you MIGHT have a legitimate complaint.

But in all seriousness, condolences to the family and sorry that the pig above is trying to.melake this about race.

Keep up the narrative bitch.

Cops are supposed to protect us from thugs. Not be them.

Condolences to family again.

Perfect example in this thread of what a total pile of trash distance runners really are. Too bad a couple of the posters here couldn't get killed instead of Trinity.

And my third was that she never should have been out at 4am.

You have no idea of the circumstances of her being out at that time you judgemental prick

Experiencing a child dying is one of the worst things ever to happen to anyone. Concentrate on how that loss would feel to you. Perhaps a prayer for comfort would be your best response. That's what they need.

According to the ESPN report, it is not believed she was in either car involved in the shooting.

Really a heartbreak. The family must be crushed.

Easy there, let's not wish for anyone to be killed.

I'm gonna take a break from this message board for awhile until another good relationship thread pops up. Those always are fun.

I am very sad for the Gay family. Condolences.

Someone in a diner at 4 am is not likely there for "bad" reasons like selling or buying drugs on the street. She was probably just hungry, hanging with friends in what should normally be a safe place, or studying. Lots of students pull all-nighters studying at Denny's or Village Inn. Getting hit by a stray bullet then is not the fault of the victim.
