First adult in my sisters case convicted updated 3-3-09

I don't normally ask for this kind of stuff and I realize this may be the wrong venue, but my sister and her family could use your thoughts and prayers. I received a phone call from my parents this morning to tell me that my sister and her family were the victims of a home invasion in Wichita, KS early this morning. Apparently four armed men broke into the house, assaulted my sister and shot her husband four times. Her husband is in critical condition, their youngest child is under observation as he was thrown into a wall, the other two children were unharmed. I apologize for posting this here, but I know more people here than anywhere else. I don't have any more information than that at this time, my parents are in transit and I have not been able to speak with my sister yet.

    On a side note, I don't think anyone would discourage this type of a post and we should all encourage support for a member of the family.

    Stay strong and positive.

    Doran, my deepest sympathy for your family. I sincerely hope these animals are brought to justice and more importantly I hope your family recovers from this terrible injustice.

    I work in a state prison and deal with these type of people on a daily basis- they have zero respect for life and do these things without a second thought, hopefully they will be caught and sent away where they belong.

    Again I hope and pray your family recovers.
  • BigDaddyBowmanBigDaddyBowman Posts: 1,896 ✭✭✭
    You will have 5 prayers sent out by the BigDaddy family. May your family be blessed to get through this terrible ordeal. I hope the scum that did this are caught and brought to justice.

    My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 2 (2003). My son was diagnosed with Type 1 when he was 17 on December 31, 2009. We were stunned that another child of ours had been diagnosed. Please, if you don't have a favorite charity, consider giving to the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation)

    Oh my god...I'm so sorry to hear about this. I live in Wichita just read the article on kansas.com. I ran a mapquest and I live 4 miles away from them.

    I keep a loaded .380 in my dresser drawer and could only hope that I would reach my gun before something like that would happen to my family. I'll PM you my phone number. Please call if you need anything if you end up travelling to Wichita.

    Yikes! As I read "Kansas" and "home invasion" I eerily thought of "In Cold Blood."

    I sure hope they find these scumbags damned quickly.
