His sons have moved out and are in college and the military.
He heard the gunshots from down the street and on Wednesday morning mourned for the parents of this teen.
"Yes. And it's hurting to my heart because, for a simple reason, that could have been one of my boys. Regardless of whether or how I trained them or not, they could have just been great acts of being on the air by being in the wrong place at the wrong time. It doesn't make me angry. It makes me say basically this is a better life for them than that," Brockington said.
