Thanks for the ping. Very sad. I understand the town where this happened has a population of only around 500 people and so most know each other.
The local news (I'm in Mpls) said that the families are asking for prayer.
Actually the town that this happened in has a population close to 9,000. (considered big by my standards - LOL)
I on the other hand live in a town closer to your figure. If you shake the trees on a good day. ;-)
