    This was premeditated murder , Shawn had been saying for awhile when his mom died he was going to kill his brother and dad, I’m a man of God and tried to help Shawn in the past and tried hard to talk him away from sin, he let me down big time

    Very sad for the family. Offering prayers for the one injured taken to the hospital.

    I still believe in capital punishment for convicted murderers where there is no possibility of errors or fraud in the investigation or judicial process.

    It’s bad when you take a life of a friend, or a stranger. But shoot and kill your own brother or family member in their home – there’s no words for that. How cold can you be???

    I’ll pray for your unsafe keeping behind bars. Your day is coming!
