Be safe, all.

Man... Thats tough to swallow. A letter? Strange strange strange.

If it is some random joe, that guy needs to man up. In the long run doing so will probably save his life

What a sad story on many fronts.

 

[Fullbore]

Couldn't imagine carrying that kind of baggage everyday. I wouldn't be able to sleep, eat or look myself in the mirror? Very sad story.

 

[DJK Frank 16]

Wow very sad. Hopefully the person eventually comes forward.

 

[Boarhead]

Man that is sad, I couldn't live with myself having the weight of that on my shoulders and hope he turns himself in.

 

[Bigslam51]

Wow that's very sad. This guy needs to man up.

 

[cotty16]

Heart breaker.

 

[teej89]

that's terrible.... The call to his wife was tough to imagine.

What coulda happened? I doubt it was a stray bullet, think maybe it was the guy was looking at the other guy thru his scope and the gun went off? Or he just felt like shooting at someone? Any way you spin it, it makes no sense at all.

From the letter I bet it was someone younger due to the "texting like" spelling and the handwriting.

They say confession is good for the soul. I thing the shooter will only find their peace by coming forward and tell the family what happened! As all have said, very sad!

 

[finelyshedded]

Wow! Like others have said, very very sad! What a burden to bear! Hope they do they right thing and come forward so the victims family can have closure. SAD!

 

[xbowguy]

Very Sad. I couldn't imagine that from either side.

 

[Huckleberry Finn]

That story puts a knot in my gut.

Heartbreaking . Obviously whomever accidently killed him is in turmoil. Without knowing the circumstances its tough to pass judgement . But whomever it is better come forward to provide closure for the family. If they don't come forward their conscious is going to kill them , or cause them to kill themselves

Such a sad thing to happen.

You just never know...It could happen to anyone. Even if you do everything right.

 

[GoetzTalon]

Wow very sad!!! Hope he comes forward!!!!

Sad story. I hope whomever did it comes out and the family gets some closure.

 

[DeadOn]

Extremely sad story to hear. Very emotional and my prayers of support and comfort go out to this family.

As the story says, a note does not cut it as far as coming forward. Much less for confession and forgiveness. You cannot take the life of a father, husband, a son....and say I'm sorry only in a letter. Come forward. Only then can the closure even begin.

I'm very sad for the family.

 

[Jackalope]

Sad. Just plain sad. I wonder if he was wearing orange.

 

[Big_Holla]

Just crazy. I'd say it won't be long before he actually turns himself in.
