That's horrible. I am glad she is ok. I am not surprised at the security. There is no way security/police can be everywhere at once. I am sure they do the best they can, it's simply just not possible

i am the grand daughter of Robert and Shirley riddle and me and my family do not appreciate the things that you are saying on your website. if you really want to know so bad yes he did kill my grandmother and then himself but it was not out of hate it was out of love. my grandmother had Alzheimer for 11 years she got out of bed one morning and fell and broke her sternum and had internal bleeding. my grandfather couldnt see himself living alone and he couldnt stand to see his wife suffer any longer and that is why he did it. so you should get you facts right before you post shit online you need to think about how it makes my family feel to read all of your lies.

Laura, we're sorry for your loss and your trauma. I, too, have a very close relative suffering from Alzeiheimers and I know about the heartbreak as I had taken personal care of this relative until I had to put her in a nursing home.

I did not notice anyone on this site disparaging your family. Some have commented on what a tragedy it was; several talked about how guns are able to find their way into gun free zones, such as hospitals. For the most part, people who post on this site are NOT gun-slinging cowboys but are thoughtful people with families of their own.

Your grandpa did what he thought he had to do. But...But...there could well have been a myriad of other outcomes from his approach, some of which might have prevented him from carrying out his heartbreaking mission or might have cost others their lives.

Again, I'm very sorry for you and your family. I hope you can find some peace.

Yes Ma'am, I have to echo what JJF has said as well. I am sorry for your loss. I do understand having lost family members to that disease and also having a brother commit suicide with a shotgun, I understand your anger. I did reread all of the posts and I do not see anything to justify your anger with this site. My prayers are with you and your family. I truely pray you can find peace.
