They lived in the same neighborhood we live in, they bought the house we looked at first in this neighborhood. They moved to different neighborhood later. Our sons played T ball at the Y together. The parents were the nicest people you would want to meet. Normal family, I thought.
The son shot at a police substation, drove away, then got into a shoot out with the police. He was shot, not seriously, and was arrested. Police decided to check on his family. Found his mom shot dead at the family home. Then found maternal grandmother shot dead at her house.
I am just so heartbroken for this family, especially the father and the 2 other sons. I just can't imagine what they are going through. The family released a statement thru their church and mentioned mental illness. You just don't expect something like this to happen to someone you know. I guess I am asking for prayers for this family.

That is tragic. I hope that the father and 2 sons will begin therapy for grief counseling. How awful.

oh, how awful. it sounds like he may have started shooting at the police station in hopes of a 'suicide by cop' instead of having to face trial for what he did.

oh my gosh, what a terrible shock! My heart goes to you all. When something like this happens it affects the entire community. I am so sorry.
Several years ago (I posted about it here too) a dear friend and co-worker who was very involved with her boys high school sports teams took in a troubled boy. She told us about him at a get together we'd had, about how defiant he was of her house rules and I wondered and worried back then if she wasn't in over her head.
He winded up stabbing her to death in her kitchen. I found out when I started getting texts because it was on the 11:00 news. Horrible. He was tried as an adult and it locked away for good.

You just don't expect something like this to happen to someone you know. It just rips through you on a different note, doesn't it. I knew someone who murdered 2 people and then died by suicide after. At the time it was just unbelievable. It has been many years, but I still think of it often. I can remember exactly what I was doing when I found out. What the weather felt like, just everything about that time is crystal clear, like it was yesterday. |

I thought of you immediately after reading the OP and remember your posts at the time your friend was murdered.  edie3, I can't imagine the shock your community is in right now. This article says Scott had been living with his grandmother for the last year.  |
