Six-year-old Kingston Campbell was scared of the dark, so he often crawled into a bed with his older sisters, who were, by their mother’s account, overly protective of their baby brother. But they could not protect him the night of May 1, when Lynchburg, Virginia, police say several shooters fired multiple guns into the family’s home, killing Kingston.
