We need more Brent Vinsons, that type of person, in our communities. I don’t know anything that happened (with Tuesday’s shootings). …He’s a natural leader and one of those guys who always had the best interest of others before himself.”
I thought when he became a police officer like his dad (Alex) that it was a perfect fit for him,” said Kennedy, assistant football coach at South Mecklenburg High School. “I’ve watched this kid work his butt off from an early age. … He’s a phenomenal kid and happens to be in an unfortunate situation right now, and I hate to see him be in the middle of it and being vilified the way he is.”
