There was a double murder in my community today.

We have only 2,500 people here. We are a rural community. I am not sure yet who was killed. I know the house, and some of the neighbors. The woman who lived there was a widow in her sixties. We don't have many murders here.

This is very shocking. We need all the prayer and comfort we can get, for our town, and for the family.

It must be particularly upsetting in such a small community where everyone knows everyone.
Sending my prayers.

There is so much violence & evil in our world today. The evil hand touches everywhere. The drug problem is so rampant & driving so much of this crazy behavior. I live in small community, too, & it would make everyone here very nervous & suspicious. Hopefully this will be solved soon & put all of you to rest. Keep us informed on law enforcement's progress on this. Sending light your way!

The man, 76, shot his lady friend, 73. Then he killed himself. I know them, and their families.

The son of the older man has had other family members break his heart. I think he deserves better. Sometimes I think he was born into the wrong family.

This will take some time to heal.

there is far too much violence, and in my senior years I cease to understand anything more with regard to mean people and violent actions. It mystifies me.
