This is really a sad situation I didn’t know the victims but I’ve had heard nothing but amazing things about them my heart goes out to the family. Ive known Aaron since he was a baby and unfortunately he has had mental illness for most of his life. For some reason he went off his medication don’t know why but he did. The boy I know being in his right mind would never hurt anyone. But he wasn’t in his right mind. It’s not an excuse by all means and it dosent change what he did I just hope that he gets help and is in Apia e where he dosent hurt himself or anyone again. My condolences to all in involved
