8 in one family.
That number reigns true after this mass shooting in a Texas church.
This truly horrific event took the life of 26 people, injuring plenty more, and a family that had spanned over 3 generations lost 8 of its family members during this mass shooting.
Amongst those killed included;
Bryan Holcombe and his wife, Karla Holcombe, who lived on a farm in nearby Floresville. Bryan Holcombe was filling in for the regular pastor, Frank Pomeroy, who was traveling out of state. Danny Holcombe, son to Bryan and Karla Holcombe. Noah Holcombe, Danny's 17-month-old daughter. Crystal Holcombe, the wife of Bryan and Karla's other son, John, who survived the shooting. Crystal Holcombe was two months pregnant. Three of Crystal Holcombe's five children. Their names and ages were not immediately available. Two of her children survived and are in the hospital with John Holcombe.
Sutherland Springs is the kind of place where "everybody knows everybody," said Gloria Rodriguez Ximenez, who attended a Sunday night vigil.T wenty-three people died inside the church on Sunday, two died outside the church and one died at a nearby hospital. The deaths ranged in age from 18 months to 77 years old.
I believe this event is sickening, as once again, there is another mass shooting. This is proves that there needs to be action taken, before families have to suffer through even more tragedy.

The saddest thing about the plague of mass shootings in our country is that the government isn't doing anything about but sending their half-a**ed prayers, which do nothing, if there is no government action.
ReplyDeleteTo lose a family member can be one of the worst things to happen to a person, but to lose eight at once is unfathomable.

It's crazy that there have been multiple mass shootings that haven't really been dealt with and that the government is worried about terrorist in other countries coming to America but what about the terrorist already in America, that are from America? Gosh, people suck.
