Grave digger, St. Louis, Missouri
Grave digger Adam Osborne, 24, center, and other workers from Lake Charles Park Cemetery lower 16 year-old Jade Hamilton's coffin into her grave after her funeral. Hamilton had been sitting in a car at Mount Pleasant Park when three young men approached the car and began shooting, striking her in the neck, police said. "It doesn't make sense," grumbled Osborne, 24, "Someone gets shot, then someone gets shot for that, then someone gets shot for that...Do they think it's going to end by killing somebody?"
