LESLIE, Mich. (WLNS) - The town of Leslie is wrapping its arms around two families impacted by a tragedy.

On Tuesday, a 14-year-old boy was electrocuted and killed by a power line. His friend, who tried to help him, remains in the hospital. The Leslie community is feeling the weight of the situation and is doing what they can to show support.

When tragedy hits a small town, it hits hard. Faith Church Lead Pastor James Courter said the city of Leslie is like a family.

"It's been heavy around here all week since that happened," the pastor said. "Everybody feels the weight."

Courter said he was at the church Tuesday evening when the incident happened, and he did not find out until later.

"The power went out and we didn't know what was going on," said Courter.
