COBB COUNTY, Ga. — Friends and family leaned on each other as they remembered a Cobb County teenager who was shot and killed a week ago.
About 100 people gathered Saturday night for a candlelight vigil for Miles Saunders, 17.
Police were called to a home on Wilson Circle last Sunday morning for what they were told was an accidental shooting.
Saunders family is still seeking answers, but say the outpouring of love in the last week has helped them get through.

Officials tell Channel 2's Steve Gehlbach they haven't ruled out homicide, and that this is still an active investigation.
Miles’ father told Gehlbach his son never met a stranger.
“If someone was on the side of the road, he'd be like dad, let's stop and help them,” Fredrick Saunders said. “That' the kind of heart he had. And that's the memory I'm going to take with me about my son.”
Police have identified a possible witness to the shooting. After releasing photos this week, a family member came forward, and detectives interviewed him.
So far no one has been charged in connection with his death.
