An American high school is
mourning the death of one of its students, a 16-year old Mongolian immigrant.
Reports indicate that Ichinkhorloo
“Iko” Bayarsaikhan was with friends in a park near his Alameda California
home Wednesday evening. Police reports indicate five to six young men
tried to rob Bayarsaikhan and his friends. During the altercation, guns
were fired and Bayarsaikhan was killed.
“Every person that was with
that group of those responsible, is just as responsible as the shooter,”
Police Lt. Art Fuentes told KCBS radio. "The composite drawings,
coupled with the news coverage have really brought in a lot of helpful
information from the public.”
Students, teachers and friends
held a candle light vigil at Alameda High School to remember Bayarsaikhan.
