A Georgia coroner went to a shooting range owned by his family on Friday evening and found his parents and son had been shot dead in a robbery, officials said.

In a brief telephone interview with the Guardian on Sunday, Richard Hawk confirmed his 19-year-old son Luke Hawk, father Tommy Hawk and mother Evelyn Hawk were killed at the shooting range, which was owned by his father.

Police were still searching for suspects, said Richard Hawk, whose office determines causes and manners of deaths in Coweta county, about 50 miles south-west of Atlanta.

“Tommy, Evelyn and Luke knew the Lord as their personal savior,” Hawk said, fighting tears. “They died knowing the Lord, and they’re in heaven.

who looks like he's constipated every time he prays hard. And the meatball pastors who died for not taking vaccine because they were washed in the blood of Jesus and that would protect them from Satin's virus

Yeah, God must be laughing his ass off at those comedians.

An unknown number of bad people went to a place where someone would normally expect there to be a lot of guns, killed everyone there, probably took all the money and everything that wasn't nailed down in the process...and I'm supposed to believe guns will protect anyone.
