This is my brother-in-law and sister's ice cream store, Thursday night. In the background of the white truck you can see the SUV that caused the carnage, tipped up on its side. Both the driver and the passenger in the white truck were killed, and the truck hit a utility box which busted into the store and snagged a little 3-year-old boy and killed him.
I was just crying and crying Thursday night when we found out how horrible it was. Seth and I couldn't really get to sleep. What on earth can we do? Basically nothing. Just check the online news sites constantly for updates on what is sucking with this story and the families involved. Mostly the news stories concentrate on how bad things are sucking for the families of the deceased, and that's right. But things are also sucking pretty bad for the store owner, who has six little kids of his own, and now has to clean up the mess and get back to running a happy sunny business at the scene of a triple-vehicular-homicide. Here's the most informative and most-often-updated online news story:
