School shooting victim never got first paycheck -- now it'll be buried with him

Five months before the high school shooting in Chardon, Ohio, Danny Parmertor did what many boys when they turn 16: He went out looking for his first job. He dreamed of saving up enough money to buy a car.

It took time, but eventually, Ernst Lanes hired Danny as a lane captain. For the last month, Danny spent his weekends helping bowlers with scoring and making sure their bowling balls fit correctly, said his boss, Joe Ernst.

This week, Danny, a junior, was supposed to pick up his first paycheck – $273.50. It wasn’t a lot of money, but he was on his way – maybe just a fraction of the way – to owning his first car.

Holding back tears, Bobby Parmertor, Danny's father, told the "TODAY Show": "We’re going to pick up the paycheck and we’re going to bury the paycheck with him."
