In June of 1999 Shannon Smith was a happy, healthy, well-adjusted 14-year-old, who was "on top of the world." She has just graduated from the 8th grade and was looking forward to the challenges of high school.
When, in connection with the investigation of Shannon's death, the Phoenix police told her parents that Phoenix had some of the weakest gun laws for any city of comparable size in the country, and that the discharge of a firearm within the city was a simple misdemeanor, the Smiths set about to change that.
The Smiths have formed The Shannon Smith Memorial Foundation, which is a non-profit corporation which will provide a scholarship in Shannon's name at the high school she would have attended, Xavier College Preparatory, for a deserving student who might otherwise not be able to attend.
