It is the first time this award has gone to a minor or been awarded posthumously.<\/font><\/p>\n According to the New York Daily News<\/a>, freshman Jared Padgett was known at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Gresham, OR as being quiet, but was \u201chighly regarded for his spirituality\u201d by church elders.<\/p>\n Padgett walked into Reynolds High School last Tuesday carrying<\/a> \u201can AR-15 type rifle, a semi-automatic handgun, ammunition and a large knife,\u201d and opened fire, killing freshman Emilio Hoffman.
