Something horrific close to home [View all]

My church hosts a creative arts program for kids in the community. They just wrapped up their "summer camp," and they had a festive showcase event on Saturday to share their projects. A joyous time, and everyone left in high spirits. That very night, the mother of one of the students (age 10) was murdered in her front yard, shot to death by a man she had reportedly dated for 4 months but had broken up with a week earlier. He then got back in the truck and fatally shot himself. Senseless, shocking, devastating. Can't even imagine what this little girl and her brother are going through.
