well it's sad too say that lives were taken. No one should be killed there is a GOD and we all are going too have to give our face to him and only he can pass jugdement on us. I pray that GOD have marcy on them all and I will continue praying for them and their loved one's. It hurt's so much because that day a pieces of me was taken,I have to forgive the people that killed them cause GOD forgave me.
