Family of 5 Murdered by Texas Prison Bus Escapee

Friends of Carson, Hudson and Waylon Collins gathered on their school’s baseball field in Tomball, Texas, to grapple with the devastating loss of the three brothers. The Collins brothers were celebrating the start of summer with their cousin Bryson and grandfather Mark at the family ranch. All five family members were murdered by a convicted killer named Gonzalo Lopez, who had escaped from a prison bus.
