A DC basketball fixture... I grew up down the street from this HS.... I remember the days of watching players like Larry Geddie, Deigo McCoy, Mike Graham, Sherman Douglas, Earl Jones, Cliff Cottom, and of course, Clarence Bootney Greene , all coached by the legendary Coach Woods. Greenwave forever.
I’m here because of Instagram and someone said that 3 kids were passing around a gun during an assembly and the gun went off . It was an accident . Many people from dc in the comment section were saying this same thing
@@stashouse617 I read that a witness stated that it was not an accident. She stated she saw the individual who pulled the trigger, point the gun at Ajax and stated he would shoot him. Ajax said he wouldn't. The gun went off Ajax stood up and looked as though he was going to run and dropped to the floor. But it also says the group of boys were friends and police ruled it an accidental shooting.
no they didn’t close the school due to the murder my mother attended spingarn in ‘82 the murder happened in ‘80 they shut spingarn down in 2013 due to low enrollment

Scary
One of the Best High Schools here in DC!🖤 Team Spingarn Greenwaves💪🏽
Sucks they closed
Bro I’m watching this as I’m in the gym with all the graffiti and stuff it’s crazy
Spingarn High School should have not been closed. This school played a major role in DC history.
I learned that a student named Adrian Precia was murdered in that school.
I just heard about this story today. I've been trying to find a picture of him, but can't.
@@ArielleSharda same can't even find info on the dude who shot him. Seems lost to history
The shooters name was Michael Joseph Pratt. You can find the info through Google. It isn't lost.
