I grew up seeing this woman at school. I went to school with one of her grandsons. My grandmother was her friend and my grandfather worked with her husband. I could not believe this when I first heard from my aunt who lives in Pixley Tuesday afternoon. Pixley is a hole in the wall with about 3000 people. I know bad things happen everywhere but this is beyond bad. My prayers are with them.

That is awful! 🙁 I feel so bad for the family.
How did the 12 year old get the gun to begin with though! That’s what I want to know.

😥 That’s terrible! I’m sooo sorry! My family lives in a little ‘hole in the wall’ town of about 3,000, also… and you’d be amazed at what can happen. I wish people would learn to use their words to solve problems instead of violence. What ever happened to the Golden Rule and ‘if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all’?

Too bad he won’t be tried as an adult. Very Sad.

I was told through family that the boys dad was arrested as well cause the gun was his. I was also told that the boy was on meds and that the grandmother was telling him to take them. I’m taking it that this was the altercation. I’m waiting to see if there is more to the story cause now I am hearing that there were more people there at the time.

That’s tragic. I’m sorry for the family – and for you, Adara, since you knew the lady.

Thanks. They were supposed to do an autopsy yesterday but I think the cause of death in obvious.
I hope the 12 year old gets help. I don’t know what is gonna happen to him but he’ll be punished one way or the other, he has to live the rest of his life knowing that he killed his own grandmother.

Ouch for the lady…. I wonder what drives a kid that age to shoot his own grandmother?

Valleyview gets alot of crap too, for it’s size. A couple of years ago, the son of one of my mom’s best friends was beaten to death over nothing. They never found his killers. The guy was 21 though.
