IT IS DIFFICULT TO DESCRIBE IN WORDS THE EMOTIONS THAT THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE HERE EXPERIENCE. WE ALL KNOW THIS FAMILY. MANY OF US SERVED WITH THEM IN THE CHURCH AND IN THE COMMUNITY AND WENT TO SCHOOL WITH THESE PERSONS. NOW THERE ARE MORE THAN ANSWERS FOR ALL THE REMAINING QUESTIONS. POLICE HAVE NOT YET SAID WHEN THESE DEATHS OCCURRED OR WHAT COULD HAVE LEADED TO THESE SHOOTINGS. THEY ALSO DIDN’T IDENTIFY THESE FAMILIES. FAMILY MEMBERS OR EVEN REQUESTING A WELFARE CHECK. IT’S ALSO NOT EASY, WHICH MAY HAVE EVEN RESULTED IN A HOUSE CALL. HERE AT HOME, WINSTON-SALEM IS RECOVERING FROM GRASS BEDS HIT BY A CAR.
