She died at 4:29 p.m., according to the hospital.
Davis, 17, was shot in the head by another student with a shotgun at point-blank range at the school on Dec. 13, Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson said.

Incidentally Dave plays lead guitar and accordion on this classic.

I heart Los Lobos - one of the best American bands ever.

(36,392 posts)So many of their songs, including the one in the video, are so intricate and well-rendered. There's another one on that CD called "Hardest Time" that's also very melancholy and heart-felt. Listening carefully gives me chills. The whole group, and David Hidalgo in particular, are among the things that make life better just by listening in.
Congrats on enjoying that slice of life in Denver. Are/were you part of a concert promotion team, or a professional driver??

The station used to do a huge promotion at the Boulder Reservoir called Kinetics - that year Los Lobos played and I was in charge of them. Used to be a promotion/marketing director for a chain to huge record stores before going into radio.
