We went into Estes to have dinner that night and parked in that lot. We saw the ambulance and police and asked what had happened and were told a rock had fallen on a girl. It was terrible to find out that the girl had died. What a horrible thing for her family. I've thought of them a lot over the last few days.

This article doesn't give any details at all as to why exactly the 17-year-old is being charged.
