We know the 89 yr old's son. He's a long time family friend. Now 4 have died, including the 89 yr old mother who still had strength to call 911 and identify shooter to police. The 10 yr old will go to an aunt, probably. This is probably the most horrific thing I can think of happening to a family

I cannot help but wonder about the little ten year old boy. I read one news report that the father had ignored his daughters and only paid attention to his son. Can't imagine the grief and guilt that little boy is feeling now. My heart breaks for him.
