This is so so so so sad. I was shocked when checking CNN this afternoon and saw Northwest Alabama in a story. I have family in Lexington, so I read it.

I'm very very confused about details of this case, but I realize they are still emerging.

Was the home that the wife and teenage daughter lived in burned?

Was the father's residence burned? Or were both homes burned?

Several of you have posted that a body was found burned inside a home, but I can't figure out WHICH home or who?

I'm really hoping that it ISN'T the deranged killer because I too would like to see him answer before a judge. It seems suicide would be a really painless death for this man. Truly cowardice.

I'm hoping there will be some sort of justice for the moms and kids. This isn't right at all.

My thoughts exactly....
well there are children involved and kids hear stuff at school then they come home and tell the parents there will be a million versions of this tragedy before it is all over. But I have always been told not to take every word that is said to heart but if you listen to all the stories you hear you can usually put most of the story together. And when you have something this tragic happen in a community like Greenhill where the ones that live there consider everyone there it hits the whole community hard and people will jump to conclusions because most are in shock. So give the people a little time to stress out and say what they want to say. And how many times have you ever known of the media reporting the whole truth. Thats just part of being able to talk!!!

Your name says it all - at least the last word of it - Jerk -

Why are you here??? Roll Eyes
To grow up, live, and work in this community almost all of my life I am deeply shocked. Raising my own children and looking at them today makes my heart break for what that family experienced. A brother, a uncle, a father, and a husband could never do those things. A real man would just do what he could to rectify the wrongs in his life and move on and would never hurt those he loves. I do also agree with an earlier post that their are crazy women out there as well.

In my daily life I see a lot of things that I do not want to but nothing has saddened me like this in a long time. My thoughts and prayers are with the family and I can only hope that time will heal some of the wounds. I am sure that it will not heal all of the wounds left by this tragedy. God bless this family!

You are totally right about that.
i'm glad the sob killed himself. he didn't deserve to live. i'm just glad he didn't take an officer of the law with him, too.

whatever your problems are, you don't go killing people over them. what did that 11 year old kid have to do with his problems? or any of those people, for that matter.

move on, don't murder people!
Roll Eyes.....can we please get back to what this thread was about a tragedy that my family and every other family in greenhill are going to have to deal with, especially the family of the ones who lossed their lives to this senseless act of violence. osj you must not have to drive by the school and see the ballfield everyday because it is going to break many hearts and hold many shedded tears for a long time to come. My 8 year old came home telling me how all the girls at the school were crying today and she was really upset to because the girls in her class all really looked up to the boyfriend and they know he is upset and hurting. And the whole school is grieving and the younger children as well as the older ones that were actually friends will be trying to make since of it all for a long time to come. Please continue to pray for the victims family, the students @ Rogers and the communities of Greenhill and Priceville.

What about what I said makes me a jerk or doesn't warrant me being here. I have been around here longer that both of you jacknuts and I dare you to prove your points. Trust me, I CAN be a jerk if you want me to. What I said was true and did not deserve your stupid replies. The story HAD gotten out of hand. You know what? Screw you! I do not have to explain myself to you or anyone else. As far as I'm concerned you both can have a coke and a smile...


You come on here acting like this is your forum and that everyone else is "in your words -ignorant " and you dont think you will get called names ? Jacknuts ? Stupid ? Screw you ?
Wow , I see why everyone loves you on here , Roll Eyes

Julie must have hurt your littl feelings for you to come back so hard !!! Good job julie , you got him . lmao Big Grin
I think we are all a little emotional about this subject but I think we can all agree that this is a terrible tragedy and that we need to wrap our hearts around this family and this community and help to make this situation as bearable as possible without all the fighting and bickering.

What Outspokenjerk didn't understand was this thread and this forum was part of the eyes and ears yesterday with the information because the news media wasn't even on the ball about it. There were a few conversations that were proven incorrect (the aunt/nephew thought to be the mother in law/son) etc, but for the most part -- a lot of the conversation was right on target and I appreciate everyone that was involved because that helped to keep people away from the scene trying to get inforamtion etc...no one was ugly in their comments or disrespectful from what I recall -- unless it was after 2 when I left for a while...

I think our hearts were in the right place and that we wanted to know what happened and that we wanted to understand what happened...there are no words to describe this situation...

Julie -- outspoken has been here a while and he isn't always so sharp in his words and I don't think that his first post was intended to be ugly -- I think it was to just remind everyone how rumors can get distorted...at the same time OutspokenJerk -- I don't think that calling people names because they don't agree with your post is a little to far and that got ugly and I hate to see that...both of you have been assets to this forum...take a step back and breathe and let's get back on the same page of supporting this community and this family...
Dixie - I agree with you and want to support this community! I hate to be ugly on here to OSJ - or truthfully to anyone else.

I became offended by the posts they made and for some reason chose to end with the word "RETARTED"
- I do not like that word thrown around just because someone doesn't know what else to say or is trying to be cute.

But, this thread is not about me and what I am offended by, and it should not be.

I apologize very sincerly to you, Freebird, and anyone else I have offended.

My thoughts and prayers are with all touched by this horrible, sad, tragedy.

I deleted my prior posts because it was very tacky, classless, and should not have been made!
Thanks ya'll but having been here as long as I have -- I've seen most the oldies that post and I'm still learning the newbies, but I think we are all a great bunch of people and that we can come together for the better in these type situations...

I really just want the topic to stay focused on this family and this community and not on us on the forum...I could not imagine being a friend or family member in this...in one day, 2 parents lost both their children and both their grandchildren and another family lost a daughter, a sister, a niece and a granddaughter...that's a burden that is heavy to bear...I pray they find peace with each other and come together in this and don't find themselves at odds ...

I'm so sorry that this has happened again. I want these senseless killings to stop. I pray that this man is caught before he kills again. I want them to find him alive. Killing himself is a cop out. I'm sorry, but that's how I feel.

My heart goes out to this family.


That was probably the best thing, TP. This guy wasn't going to be taken alive. If an officer was forced to shoot him, the officer would have had to live with his actions, stand trial, then there would be a civil suit.....you know the drill. While taking his own life leaves no room for justice, at least it gives the family a sense of closure and no one else was put in danger.
You took the words right out of my mouth Onecrazymomma! My son plays football with her boyfriend. The whole school and comunity is in total shock! My son doesnt want to talk about any of this and is really worried about his friend. The whole football team is! How do you explain this to those younger kids at Rogers? Just a sad day in Greenhill!!
