What ammo were they using to hunt squirrels that also killed this boy? Must have been incredibly close…. does smell right.
This seems highly suspicious. No disrespect to the family, but I can think of at least one very good reason why an uncle might kill a young boy to silence him.
So horrible, prayers for everyone
