KANSAS CITY, Mo. — 10-year-old Chace Freeman was one of two children killed in a house fire on Wednesday that also left two other people with critical injuries.
"Life is so precious," Freeman's teacher Kay Sharbono said. "And this was just a young man. His life had just begun."
Sharbono taught the 10-year-old who was a fourth grader at Prairie Point Elementary.
"(He) Came in with a smile every day. (He) Wanted to do well. (He) Wanted to be everyone's friend," Sharbono said.
Sharbono said counselors were brought into the school to comfort classmates as well as teachers and staff.
"We're going to rally around each other and we're going to rally around our kids and help them through this time," Sharbono said. "And we're going to rally around Chace's family."
