A Neighbor's Perspective
Margaret Smith, a mother of two who lives across the street from the family, shared her thoughts on the incident. "It could have happened to anybody," she said. "He could have walked outside and done anything to somebody. I'm glad it wasn't me, I feel for the family, the mom and the sister, but it's some lessons you have to learn, now he's got to learn the hard way. And that's sad."
