Fourteen-year-old Joseph Daniel Joey Ennis was killed on September 15, 1999, during the Wedgwood Baptist Church shooting in Fort Worth, Texas. He was a student at Brewer High School and one of seven people shot during a youth service. The shooter, 48-year-old Larry Gene Ashbrook, died at the scene from a self-inflicted wound after the attack.

Joey’s funeral drew about 1,000 mourners; relatives remembered him as a fun-loving teen. Reports note the shooter had a history of mental health issues and had previously threatened the church, but the motive for the attack is not clear. No arrests followed because the person who carried out the killings was deceased.

Does anyone who knew Joey or attended the Wedgwood services in 1999 have memories or details to share about him or that night?
