Buckhannon is small, but it can still be dangerous - 9/20/2008

I even had a brother get killed while hunting with his friend, then the friend shot him after smoking pot. I also have also had friends and other kids at my school die from DUI and drug overdosing. In March 2008, one of my friends and my cousin went drinking with three other girls and were speeding before falling on its side and the cab smashing a tree, all died except my cousin. Buckhannon Upshur High School and even Middle School have expeirenced at least 8 deaths in the 2007-2008 school
