Teenage Hero Accidentally Shot and Killed During Live Stream on Instagram

Anthony Alexander, Jr.

Anthony Alexander, 17, of Collingdale, Pennsylvania was shot and killed in a gun accident that occurred while a group of kids were live streaming on Instagram. Alexander had recently learned he was going to be awarded a civilian award from the Congressional Medal of Honor society this spring for saving three children from drowning in icy water at a local pond last February.

"Know where your children are and what they're doing in this world, because life is short," said Alexander’s father. "And we are responsible," his mother added.
