Default Vet Emily Champion and family Murdered

Just a terrible and senseless tragedy.

"Dead were 62-year-old Lindsey Champion and his 61-year-old wife, Joy, along with 31-year-old daughter Emily. The Champions’ son, Ryan, survived the shooting and is hospitalized, according to his own update on Facebook. According to a published report, the family had just returned from church services when the shootings occurred."

Going out on a limb here and saying this is the murderer's dating profile.

This country is well done. Only a matter of time.

At a loss for words I got to know Dr Champion over the last 3 or 4 years as she did all are work when We came down for the week of the Delta Jackpot. Prayers for her family especially her brother.

>>>Several roommates also said Ryan Champion and Riservato knew each other for years. Ryan Champion told Channel 4 on Tuesday that was "absolutely not true" and he only knew Riservato for less than a week.<<<


Not passing the smell test. Champion's story sounded like complete BS, then this? Not making any accusations, but whoever is counseling him needs to tell him to STFU for his own good.

Makes me think of that case from the early 1970s of the husband who killed his wife and kids and tried to blame it on hippies who supposedly broke in and killed his family, while only slightly injuring him.

The friend who Champion allegedly shot and then blamed for the crime was living with his one-year-old son. Regardless of what the friend did or did not actually do in this thing, I feel terrible for the little boy.

Not to mention his strangely detached and vague quotes about the whole thing. Pretty obvious from the first article that he was highly suspicious.

Terrible tragedy. Lock that hayseed up and throw away the key.

Yeah. I try not to judge too much how people come across in interviews, because everyone grieves differently, but the incident itself didn't made any sense. A young father, who is starting a new job in a week, drives 20 miles on a Sunday afternoon to (I guess) rob a retired, middle-income couple he (maybe) met a week ago, and then kills them and their daughter when they turn out to be home, but somehow lets the son get close enough to him to take away his gun and shoot him?

The majority of murder victims are killed by someone they know. This guy really was a hayseed to think the cops wouldn't immediately be looking at him.
