WOW! This is quite the update. I was not aware it took place at the pastor’s home nor that a birthday party had just taken place. Thank you. :”( So saddening … terribly disturbing & tragic.

From DM link above:

"Kendrick was at not at the party because his schizophrenic episodes had worsened
over the previous two weeks.

'All of the children were supposed to spend the night at [Bill's] home,'
Brittany said.

'Brandon repeatedly begged and pleaded with her to come home
and she gave in…
within an hour they were all shot in the head'."

RIP to the victims
