What a tragedy. Have the suspects been found?

Our role as grandparents is to protect our children and esp. our grandchildren. No sacrifice is too great to carry this out.
Glad that one sick bastard is dead. Hope he died in pain, face down in the dirt.

God bless Sharrel Blankenbaker and prayers for her family.

Potter County sheriff’s deputies pulled over Gary Don Carner, 58, who died in an exchange of gunfire. His 11-year-old captive was able to flee from the pickup and jump into a ditch.

Wow! Grandma deserves a special place in Heaven IMHO. TWO girls were saved by her actions, and I imagine many, many more.

Very few of us are lucky enough to die that way. I bet that Grandma would do it again, if God gave her a choice.

It’ll save the cost of a trial. Good riddance to him.

May God bless and keep Sharrel Blankenbaker and comfort her family. Despite their present suffering, her family is very fortunate to have had such a wonderful grandmother and mother.

That’s a hero. You don’t let the baystard take your granddaughter, even if it means that you have die.
When your time comes people, STAND UP.

What bravery! What a grandmother! I did not know her, yet I feel sad she’s gone.
This might have ended differently had she been armed, but in any event she stood up to evil and saved the child.

Can the captured kid vouch that there was nobody else?
Anyhow this seems to press “senseless” to a fresh extreme. The man must have been stark bats to try to carry out a kidnap assembled of an unrelated group of people. Even John Wayne Gacy was satisfied to nab but only one victim at a time.

I'm glad that monster is dead and sorry another hero had to die....
...but aside from that, this has to be one of the worst written articles I have seen in a long while. That is one of the reasons I stopped reading the Austin American Statesmen.

At least we didn’t get a gaggle of Keystone Kops this time chasing after and shooting the kid!

That grandma could have used a gun right about then. Maybe the family will learn from this and purchase some firearms and learn how to use them.
