Southern Alabama Shooting Spree

[Alicia Leonard]

I know the area of Samson, Kinston, and Geneva very well. I grew up just a few miles from there. So sad. I have a few friends who still live in the area who are waiting on additional info. Samson is such a tranquil town. The epitome of a true southern town.

I grew up in the area as well. Late time something like this happened was about 35 years ago on a family farm a few miles from our place,(off the Florala-Samsom highway) but it was only four family members involved, then. Terrible.

All I will say is to keep the shooter's daughter in your prayers, unfortunately she is now without much of her family that she grew up with.

My heart to all involved and my prayers certainly include them.....so tragic.

I'd bet there were 20 different people who could have cut that short if they were carrying too.

Which victims - the children, the relatives relaxing on the porch of their home, or the random people caught completely by surprise as they were shot from a moving vehicle - do you think would have taken out the gunman if they had been armed too?

There were people in the hardware store carrying, and they said it happened too fast.
