Deputies arrested Brandon T. Harris on Friday afternoon in Thomas, and were holding him as an investigation into events surrounding the early Thursday shooting continued.
His mom was a friend of mine in school and two years ago last July, his sister Vanessa Youngbear and her 6-7 month baby in the womb was murdered by her "boyfriend" Trevor Benson when he shot her execution style with a shotgun to the head.
My kids knew Vanessa in school and my daughter talked with her alot, the same with Ryan.
Sure, they've had their problems but the family and the kids are good and decent.
Also, Brandon Bone, one of the kids arrested as an accessory. He probably was in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong people but he is a good person, too, as well as his grandma and grandpa who have been raising him.
I don't know all of the circumstances but I don't think Brandon Bone has a bone in his body that would hurt someone intentionly.
So, please pray for Brandon bone, too.
Congratulations to our policeman and the Custer County Sheriff's Office, they've done a great job so far.
And to the Thomas School, Mr. Royalty in particular, for immediately locking down the school to protect the kids until the alleged shooter, Brandon Harris was caught.
They were afraid he'd show up at school and start shooting since he and his siblings had allegedly had alot of trouble at school in the short time they've been here.
Prayers going up for everyone involved.
prayers up!
Prayers for all.
Please keep us posted. PLease?
