“Gun Death” Family Affair

Does it really matter what weapon a violent criminal has if they live with you?

A 16-year-old Spotsylvania County youth charged with raping and killing his sister and beating his niece will likely be tried as an adult, said Commonwealth’s Attorney Bill Neely…Based on the accounts of the defendant, authorities said that Betsy Smith had been beaten with a sledgehammer and stabbed before being raped about 1 a.m. Monday morning.

When the 2-year-old niece began crying, she also was struck in the head with a sledgehammer, the sheriff said.

Horrible crime. Can you imagine it as being MORE horrible if a gun was involved?

Yeah
