Funeral held for Ben Franklin student killed by bus

NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — Friends and family gathered at Touro Synagogue on Wednesday, June to remember the life of 17-year-old Belle Adelman-Cannon.

The student was killed after being hit by a school bus in City Park on Saturday, June 3.

Adelman-Cannon would have been a senior this fall at Ben Franklin High School.

At the funeral service, Rabbi Cantor Kevin Margolius said he wanted to talk about “how angry we all are, even as a clergyman. This moment tests my own faith and leaves me grasping for answers.”
