My answer is: No it is not their sister. It is their step sister and just like her mother she wanted nothing to do with those boys untill after this horrible accident happened now that they think that they will get sympathy they are all about those two.

:omfg:
What's your relation to the boys?
This is a reply for a few of you people out there first:
To Accidenttraffic you wrote:
He was a baby! Talk about bad twin, good twin.
My reply is: Do not go just off of what websites say about the facts of what happened Tyler would never mean to hurt Christopher. They were best friends... I mean yes they fought but that is life it is in humans nature to do that. But he loved his brother with all his heart.
And for LuciferBlue you asked:
Is that their sister in the hoodie?
My answer is: No it is not their sister. It is their step sister and just like her mother she wanted nothing to do with those boys untill after this horrible accident happened now that they think that they will get sympathy they are all about those two.
And to everyone else, Tyler and Chris were being dumb kids messing with things they had no business playing with and the damn thing went off. Christopher had gotten the gun from one of his dumb friends and was going to scare a bully with it they did not think that the thing was loaded. And as for their criminal record yes they had been in trouble but most kids that are from a family like ours are... they were taken from their mother and placed in their dads home where they never felt wanted. Hope this helps set some of you straight
Love you both guys and i miss you both with all of my heart...
RIP Noper and we will be counting the days till we will be together again.

They were 14 and had already been arrested several times! Fu-u-u-uck!

Tyler McIntyre had been charged with criminal damage and Christopher McIntyre faced charges of disorderly conduct with a domestic violence aggravation, threatening and intimidating, and possession of drug paraphernalia, the Citizen reported.
Court records show Christopher's charges stemmed from an incident last year in which he threatened to kill his father and stepmother after he was transferred from his mother's custody to his father's by state Child Protective Services, according to the newspaper.
Which is the good twin?

You know, I actually felt bad for this kid. Figured it was an accident or something and now some kid is going to be all screwed up knowing he killed his bro. One visit to this messageboard totally changed my opinion. Yeesh.
RIP Chris.
What a sucky way to go. Gotdamn! I wonder why he shot him?
RIP Chris.

I guess the media's statement that they had a rough home life wasn't far off the mark. Very sad situation for the entire family especially the surviving twin.
well heres the best way to set the record straight. They werent bad boys. they just made some bad decisions. our lives werent that rough. we just had normal family issues but the media makes it seem way worse than it is. they dont know anything about my brothers and yet they have so much to say. all i can say. is believe me when i say there was nothing wrong with either of them. or me. or my family. i think its unfair to judge by what the media says especially when you have a member of the family telling the truth of how it really is. my brothers got in to trouble. but who doesnt? we're teens. we're gonna make mistakes. thats life. but mistakes teach us. and mistakes are meant to be forgiven. :cry2:

Off the top of my head I can't think of that many who have threatened to kill their parents. That information is from court records, not something the media is making up. I'm sure you love your brothers, but most teens don't get into that kind of trouble. I'm sorry for your loss but it sounds like you might have a bit of denial going on.
^^ That's to be expected.

I dunno. I can't think of any kid I know who didn't, at one time or another, wish their parents dead. And I definitely know lots of fourteen year olds, all fucked up on hormones and alcohol, who got into some crazy, intense fights with family members when they came from what would be classified as a steady home. Teenagers are nutty without background problems. Throw some in and you get some really shit situations.

I grew up in a nice middle-class suburban area and went to a nice school, and I'd say 90% of kids at 14 had one time or another wanted their parents dead. Even if its just for a night or an hour, the thought has definitely crossed their mind. Whether its from not being able to get a ride to the mall to see a girl/boy that they like or not getting $20 bucks to go see a movie with their friends, parents piss kids off to the point where killing them or beating the shit out of them DOES pop up in their head. Of course, 99.9% of kids will follow not thru with it, but a few might at least voice it, as these kids did.
Kids at 14 do alot of stuff these days. I was arrested when I was 12 for vandalizing my school and breaking some windows. I'm 27 now and turned out ok.
Btw next time your walking down the street or running thru the park, and you see a group of 11-13 year olds on bikes just hanging around, they are just waiting for you to leave so they can spark up a joint or pull out the bottle of whiskey one of them has hidden in his pants.
ive wanted to kill my parents.
every teen has wanted to at some point.
they had tempers so what?
im not in denial.
my brothers werent bad kids no matter what they said.
ive said im gonna kill you 2 my mom. i didnt mean it.
neither did they.
so i think you're mistaking it.
theres no need to be in denial.
i know my brothers werent perfect.
but no one could expect them to be.
