Townville Tragedy Sept 29 2016

While we were on the road, we were pretty much off the grid.  We can't get tv;  radio,  cell phone and internet service is often sporadic.  Late Wednesday afternoon Carol called us to let us know the breaking news...there was a shooting at the Townville Elementary school.  As the story unfolded, we learned that a young teen (Jesse) had killed his father and then went to the school where he shot 2 youngsters and a teacher.  One of the victims, Jacob Hall,  later died.  Rumor mill was that Jesse had complained to his father and others that he was being bullied, but no one intervened.  There have been no newspaper reports to that effect.  Throughout the town there are now signs honoring the emergency responders.  The Townville exit (#11)  off I-85 will be named the Jacob Hall Interchange.  It will be a small solace to his family, but will serve to memorialize the young boy.
