A local church is helping teens cope with the death of a 15-year-old girl who police say was accidentally shot in the head by a friend. A memorial service was held Wednesday night at Oak Park Ministries in honor of Kellie Beck. Police say Beck's friend was playing with a .357 magnum Monday when she pointed it at Beck and pulled the trigger. Friends of both girls have turned to Student Pastor Richie Nobles for help. He says he's received hundreds of calls, that's why he decided to organize the service, "now, they have the question why and that's a question that's almost impossible to answer. But, they've turned, you know, they could turn other places, but, it's a positive thing to me that they've turned to the church to see how God can answer a tragedy like this," said Nobles. Nobles was expecting hundreds of kids to be at the service in West Mobile.
