Ci Renee via Facebook: “Although I didn’t know the women involved I’ve only saw them around and at local events here and there my condolences go to them and the mother of the involved . There was one more person who was injured and escaped and that’s who we need to be really uplifting now and praying for , her mental capacity to deal with seeing this, hearing it and reliving it over and over again is something she will have to deal w for the rest of her life . This story hit me close not just because it’s 3 mins from my house but because this is what women our age do on Fridays now we go to each other’s houses and we entertain ourselves . Not knowing that you going to a friends house can end the way it did last night / this morning . It’s just hurtful and I’m just so heartbroken to have to give condolences to my friends who knew both women”
