re: (UPDATE)TPOS kidnaps and shoots girl in Winnsboro Louisiana

She's from a very nice family who's owned a hardware store in Winnsboro for a long time. They have had a rough go of it this past year, as her dad, the hardware store owner, caught a rare form of aggressive cancer and died suddenly, within a few weeks. She was abducted from a gas station right across the street from said hardware store. En route to work, she had stopped to get something at the store and Mathis came upon her quickly and forced her back into her own car and made her drive out to a cemetery a bit outside of town. He shot her in the head and took her purse. A grave digger found her alive, but fading. She made a gun with her hand to let him know she had been shot, and he called the sheriff's department. She was later airlifted to Jackson and is responding to stimulus, moving one side of her body ever so slightly, squeezing her hand, etc.

She is still alive, but will never be able to remove the bullet from her brain, as that surgery would kill her.

As for the suspect, my family member is in law enforcement and interrogated him, and the suspect claims they drove out there to smoke synthetic and have sex...all a lie, as the whole thing was caught on camera, and she's a good sweet girl just recently married to a youth minister. I won't comment much on Kevin Mathis, as I was once in elementary school with him and know exactly how much of a dindu he really is, and I could easily get banned, so I'll let it be.

Sad situation on a sleepy Saturday morning in Winnsboro. All I can say, hug your loved ones every day, because life is supremely cheap to some of those who walk about us.
