OXNARD, California: Larry King was a gay junior high school student who came to school in makeup, high heels and earrings. And when the other boys made fun of him, he would tease them right back by flirting with them.
That may have been what got him killed.
On Feb. 12, another student, Brandon McInerney, 14, shot him twice in the head at the back of the computer lab at their school, police say.
The slaying of the 15-year-old boy has alarmed gay rights activists and led to demands that middle schools do more to educate youngsters about discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.
Police would not discuss McInerney's motive. But the day before the shooting, King told McInerney he liked him, school mate Eduardo Segure told the Ventura County Star.
