SWEETWATER (September 30, 2009)--Police in the West Texas town of Sweetwater are investigating two assaults by a gang, some of whose members play on the town’s high school football team.

The assaults in June and August left two people with concussions and other injuries.

Sweetwater Police Chief Jim Kelley said no one has been arrested or detained in connection with the attacks.

Some of gang's members are younger than 17 and could face juvenile charges

The Nolan County Grand Jury is expected to review evidence in the attacks in mid-October.

Kelley said Riley Gilmore was kicked and punched Aug. 8 by about
10 members of the gang, which his mother said go by the name TKO.

Gilmore's mother, Kristi Graham, said her son feared for his life and she wants gang members charged with felonies.

Unless you are a liberal who thinks it's not their fault buffoon, you merely need to visit the campus area to see the drug exchanges, the gang signs, the would be football players are engaged in gang beatings of students, the gnags are runnign the school.

The correct statement(Subject Line) should be suspected gang, and there is an ongoing investigation(that so far, has proved nothing) over a fight that happened last August, by local football players and a person that lived out of town. KWTX needs to get their reports correct!!! I'd give you the website, but it wouldn't get posted!!
