Support poured in Saturday for a family that lost two brothers in a violent standoff a day earlier, as sheriff’s deputies were trying to figure out why it happened.

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office has identified two men killed Friday as they tried to help their sister move out of her former boyfriend’s house. They are Jason Edwards, 41, and his brother John Edwards, 35, both of Papillion.

The Edwards brothers were fatally shot as they were helping their sister, Julie Edwards, 42, move out of the home of Kenneth Clark, 45.

Friday was John Edwards’ 35th birthday. Both men leave behind wives and children, according to family friends.
