Prayers for thier souls 🙏
What is happening 😢 so many families killing one another🙏
SAD SAD ending.
I thought it was the surviving son but they said the father killed everyone and the 17 was still alive and was trying to escape to the garage where he collapsed.😢
Money, has to do with money…always always the issue money
Lori Daybell all over again
Guns???
Gun is the murder weapon.😏✌️
😮 jesus! Wth
Merry Christmas.
Dang.
Mormons, bad deeds
The 17 year old did it I bet you anything teens now these days are evil some not all but it’s weird that all members are dead except him hmmmm
Hide the guns from teens you never know what they are thinking about when they stay in their room playing those violent games
I am sure they are sorry and have their hearts with the victims. So nice.
I'm not clear on whether the teen is a family member.
It is happening a lot.Times have changed when it comes to family values.
Oh my goodness! There’s so much evil! Can’t anyone see that it’s demons getting into the minds of people and making them into monsters! The evil is here and we really have to stay strong and brave! We have the right to demand for evilness away from family, house, everything! It’s God’s word! Pray for everyone and yourselves for protection, etc, give yourself to God, whole body, mind, heart and spirit! We have to have God in our hearts and faith and trust! We don’t need to fear! We have to repent all our sins and have a relationship with God our Father! That’s all and you will feel so much love and have such a peace! Praying for all around the world!
So close to Christmas. This story is completely horrific! My heart aches for the family and the community.
It must be a new law you really don't have to protect anyone but other officers . I mean why did Uvalde TX play out like that its not there job officer safety is all that matters.
This country of violence shootings stabbings is going to hell cud it be this selfish rich leadership cuming up make America great for the rich u will see to much violence why😢😢
Just at unbelievable, our country has become so evil.
Is there an update ? If so .. can you kindly put a link here ?
So, the 17 year old that survived,hasn’t said what happened, I’m guessing he is the shooter and tried to kill him self or shout himself to make it look like he wasn’t the shooter. I’m sure they have some idea of what happened here.
He’ll forever hate Christmas. Such trauma
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
This story about the 17 year old boy killed his family!
So sad😢
So very sad. Praying for other family members and friends.
PLEASE STOP SAYING NOTHING LIKE THIS HAPPENS HERE. BECAUSE APPARENTLY IT DOES.
Why do they never say what city things they show- Is it Alaska or Florida- so sick of this
Yeah, 17 year old shot but still alive. Take that PlayStation Xbox away and Sh8t is going down. Take that phone away Sh8t is going down. This is fixable but we won’t. I hope everyone gets call of duty for Christmas. 🎉
An entire family of minorities / Asians and nobody knows what happened? Sure.. talk to the 17 year old son who “survived”
Moving is expensive.
