Every Family's Nightmare...

[Texasbelle]

I am sure many of you heard this story when it happened about the doctor and his family in Connecticut. They were asleep and two convicts broke into their home, tied up the doctor and the daughters, took the wife to the bank to withdraw money, and also raped the wife and one daughter. They then set the house on fire. The police were called when people at the bank realized the woman was telling them she needed help. Unfortunately the police arrived at the home a few minutes too late. The wife and her daughters died in the fire. The doctor did survive. According to the story in People magazine this week, the convicts noticed the mother and one of her daughters because of her Mercedes and figured she must have money. So they followed them home and decided that would be the house they would rob that night.

It is the saddest story and is very scary to think that you can be out running your errands during which someone notices your car and decides to rob you. It has made us much more wary at our house. We have taken some extra precautions around our house this week and some extra shooting lessons are in order.
