Teenage Train Hopping Ends in Death

A northeast Minneapolis teenager has died in an accident hopping trains with 2 friends. The body of 15 year old Chris Hanson was found along the railroad tracks near 14th Avenue Northeast and Filmore Street in Minneapolis Thursday night.

Growing up in Northeast, I used to hop trains to school along that very same rail.. All respects and prayers go out to his family. Hundreds of people gathered in a vigil last night to honor his memory.
