My uncle was shot and killed earlier. We just found out and my sister went over to their house and is collecting the kids right now to bring here. I'm not sure what happened yet everyone is still kind of in shock. Please keep my aunt and 2 young girl cousins in your thoughts. They've been going through a horrible time lately and I don't know how my aunt is going to pull through this. :(
Oh my goodness! {{Hugs}} to all but especially to the young ones.
Oh my! I am so sorry. You and your family will be in my thoughts. :(
I'm so sorry. That's so scary. You'll all be in my thoughts.
OMG!! I am so sorry to hear this news. I feel so sorry for his little girls. I will be keeping you and his family in my thoughts and prayers.

How dreadful for you all - hugs and prayers heading your way
Thanks for the support everyone.
A bit of an update. From what I know the guy that shot my uncle knew him and it was an ongoing dispute of some sort. The guy is only 19 too so he just screwed up his entire life, they are looking everywhere for him, I can't wait for them to find him. Currently my aunt and cousins are here and might possibly stay for awhile.
At least they know who they are looking for I guess.....hope they catch him soon
How horrible and shocking!! :( I feel so sad for his children and family. Hope they catch this guy soon!
Thoughts and prayers from Chicago, too
How horrible!! I am keeping your family in my thoughts and prayers.
They caught the guy.
Horriable news. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Hope they catch the guy soon... Whatever happened to setteling a dispute the old fashioned way? Why do guns have to enter into it, now 2 lives and 2 families have changed forever.
How awful! I am sorry sorry :( ((hugs)) I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
I'm glad they caught the guy, I hope he is punished to the max.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
I'm sorry for your loss.
How are you? How old are your cousins? Your poor aunt must be in shock, and yet the police will want to talk to her right now too...
{{{{HUGS}}}} to you and all your family.
I'm doing ok, really though I honestly can't believe he's gone. It doesn't seem real. I'm more worried about my aunt and cousins though, especially my aunt she's pretty much crashed and I've really seen her do nothing but sit under a blanket on the couch. It really breaks my heart. Then my poor baby cousins. They are only 9 and 11. So they are really young. They did all the questioning last night and 11 year old cousin was being questioned for nearly an hour because she saw the whole thing. Now she's going to have to go to court and testify as well. Jeez I really think this is all too much for her. We're having a dinner benefit on Saturday to help pay for the Funeral and whatnot, my poor aunt really doesn't have much to her name and doesn't want to cremate. So keep us in your thoughts on Saturday that all goes well.
Prayers that all goes well...
And the 11-year-old - to see the whole thing...I hope there is some no-charge counselling available for her, as well as her sister and mom.
Whatever else happens - I hope that 19-year-old faces the family in court and listens to what they say. Good Lord...was he on drugs? Just...unbelievable...
HUGS to you all.
I am so sorry to hear this! My condolences to you and your family.
I'm especially sorry to hear that your poor cousin saw everything. As Catty1 said, please look into some kind of therapy for her. Hopefully, though, her testimony will help catch the creep who did this terrible thing.
Megan, I am so sorry to hear this. (((hugs))) to everyone! :(
I am so sorry and sending lots of prayers your way for you and your family. I am glad they caught the young man.
How are you and the family getting on? I hope the benefit dinner was a great success
I just wanted to let you know that I am praying for your aunt & cousins. I hope the dinner was a success. Sending Hugs.
Is there an address for contributions to the benefit fund? (Either a postal address or e-mail?)
I'm so sorry for your families tragic loss. Thoughts and prayers for you all.
Sorry for not updating.. my aunt and cousins are getting along ok I believe. They are currently staying in a hotel while their insurance company fixes their house(the police took their door as evidence). The newspaper is still calling us trying to get an interview or something and the court date is coming up soon I believe. Hopefully my aunt and cousins will be able to heal over time.
