2 Teen Girls Died In a Hit-And-Run. Another Teen Faces Murder Charges.

The New York Times doesn't tell you why the alleged murderer said he sent pizzas to the victim's house just before he ran down the girl and her best friend. He said on video that he was getting revenge for social media comments about death of Charlie Kirk.
