Praying for the family . What a great family this is . So sad .
So sad and unfortunate. I talk to a very upstanding officer on my way out of the area I asked about what happened and I was concerned because of the yellow tape surrounding the place. This usually means something terrible has happened and again unfortunately it did. I wish the man that was shot a quick recovery and the brother the best as well. This is a good family and so sorry this has happened prayers for all.
Absolutely devastated about the situation. Mr. and Mrs. Brown are the nicest people! I’m over there everyday. The little ones effected man! May God bless the whole family because I know everyone closely involved!
