was going to post the others but fell down a rabbit hole and realized I ain't got time for this right now.

Sheesh, so far, what 8 people arrested?? All pretty much teens and young adults. What on earth? These kids sound as if they were part of some organized criminal enterprise, a mob if you will.

Four young men, three young women (one is 15 years old!) charged so far. Gray McClure has multiple arrests in his past, according to the inmate information available on the Gilmer County Detention Center’s website, yet he is currently out on bond! Yikes. Wondering why a 19-year old would be the target of a group’s planned armed robbery? And I wonder about the significance of the fact that LE thinks the shooting actually happened on Talona Road in Gilmer, not where the victim was located—looks like there are plenty of big, well-kept, costly homes along that road—I am wondering if one of the murderers lives there, and perhaps MLW was lured there by the gang with the express intention of robbing her?

or she lives there and her house was their target?

well there's not much hope for the adults charged in this case
the 15 year old - maybe this will be the wake-up call she needs if she's never been to prison before

I have to try to hold hope for them- while also being extremely glad they were caught! Terrifying to think of what she went through, I hope for her family’s sake that punishment is as severe as it has been swift. Jmo
