The community is rallying around a distraught mother after two of her children were shot and killed inside their North Nashville home.

exactly. they couldn't find non gang signed pictures of her 2 out of 5 kids? wonder how their daddies feel about the losses.

[@AmberColeman-gq1wn]

@SiccDeville I’m pretty sure the dads don’t care- and were only worried about not having to be held financially responsible for anybody besides themselves. If they cared/ they would have been on the scene. Duh. And not even work could have kept them away..

[@carmelitawilliams4905]

There is some important information missing. A mother with 5 children all under 21 years of age. Someone just choose their house and start shooting. I think the mom / sons was into some mess and the older two boys step up and stud there ground and loss there lives. They were able to shoot back at one and kill one . So that means they had a gun. It just so hard to believe. She really didn’t even look into the camera because she knew the bull shit that was going on. And she thought because they were kids that the perpetrator would have some type of mercy on them. Not….they really tried to kill them all. Them shooting back saved the rest of the family. Now she got to live with what really happened the rest of her life.

[@Htegrandson]

Was kinda thinking that too but it’s hard to tell since I don’t know them

[@am7884]

If you Google the mom, you will find that she has a lengthy criminal history of driving on a suspended license, gun charges, possession charges, etc. So I highly doubt the mom was innocent in this case. Just sad that parents continue to lead their children astray to this degree of destroying their lives.

The media always gives the mothers a pass for child neglect and scream gun violence when in actuality it's single parent homes and the lack of father's around whether its from the family courts system along with mother depriving father's of being around; limiting them to be financial or weekend Dad's or father was a deadbeat or thug who can't stay out of prison.

I feel sorry for the loss of life, BUT, I admit when you say more than once, “no matter the reason or what’s going on,”I shouldn’t have to bury my kids, That makes me suspect that Mom ain’t telling everything & then when I hear one of the suspects died too. Sounds like somebody in the house was “half ready”for the smoke. I COULD BE WRONG & I own that in advance. I’m also NOT JUDGING by any means, but I hope if Mom knows more, that she reveals it & help stop the violence like she said. Praying for the family. Only GOD can judge, I just make observations. Lastly, even if it is something they caused, being that age, it was a product of what they were being raised in. Just my opinion, not looking to defend or offend anyone.

[@ms.opinionated4422]

She knows her sons were involved in some mess. Doesn’t mean they deserved death, but your analysis may be more accurate than you think.

[@am7884]

If you Google the mom, you'll see that she had a lengthy criminal history including, driving with a suspended license, possessions charge, gun charge, etc. If mom was wrapped up in that lifestyle, the kids likely were following a similar path. Especially, considering the fathers of these two boys were not involved in their lives. This was definitely wrong of the shooters to enter their home to kill them. But as parents, we need to take some level of accountability.

I think this would be a wonderful opportunity to pause for a moment and give thanks for the great contributions of the Black community to our society. Their peaceful and generous nature make them ideal neighbors, lending testimony to their dedication to exceptional civic values, stable traditional families, parenting skills unrivaled by any other culture and their unflagging pride in maintaining exemplary clean, neat and orderly homes. Their commitment to academic excellence enriches our schools and serves as an example to all who hope to achieve prominence as a people.
Property values are boosted and energized by the entry of African Americans into an area thanks to the caring and sincere respect they show for these communities, their absolute dedication to lives of law abiding peaceful neighborliness, and the examples of all they have achieved through their enthusiasm for self improvement by hard work and a self-reliant, can-do culture of integrity and honor.

Why in the hell was one of her kids throwing up gang signs ... I'll wait .... Next

[@momo43momo66]

I'm sorry for her loss and for her other kids who got injured! ❤️❤️❤️ I hope for the day to come, when kids don't see certain things as cool around them , and leave it where it is, and just because they may live in a neighborhood with a certain mentality, doesn't mean they should adapt that behavior! Throwing up any sign but the peace sign, just may have a gun attached to it!❤️

This is really sad no one has the rights to pick up a gun and enter into your home and shoot up your family. But I was wondering was this some type of retaliation or gang related because of the photo. Our young people needs to understand what they do in the streets effect your family. My thoughts and prayers goes out to the mother and surviving children and the family.

Black in America seems typical Notice the W in the pics?!

[@Andrew-qq8fb]

The kids were probably involved in gangs.

bahlx lives the matter

[@barbybubbles314]

Let me guess they were innocent athletic students that were in gangs?? Not so innocent just because they're young. Parents need to have more participation in their children's lives and extracurricular activities than keep claiming they are innocent victims. These crimes need to stop, but it will take more effort than what is being done by families, the state and police force

So I'm guessing the news "couldn't find" any wholesome pictures of the victims... They have to show "street pics". The news does this alot to young black men. Does anybody else notice this?

[@9ZERO6]

Maybe there were no wholesome pictures.

[@kozartxc5707]

or maybe there weren't any wholesome pictures...

[@sarahlu7797]

Those pictures are probably the most wholesome, they had.

Who killed one of the suspects? Anyhow, God bless this mother and her family..

[@charlottehigginbotham3327]

So sorry for her loss! The pain of losing loved one's is just so realistic. My heart goes out to her and the loss she's feeling right now.

[@julialane6645]

[@traynice9633]

Hell is the last few days of your life. Most of the problems are from bad parenting.

[@Champion1372]

Shows the distress of her loss by throwing up gang signs.

[@may-beeart7930]

Should not have been selling dope and prostitute.. there it is Kia

[@qball6520]

Animals.

[@flaming3652]

Of all the photos they could have shown they had to pick the one with him throwing up gang signs. Somethings not being said you really have to have beef with a person just to bust in on a house with seven occupants. Also, who shot the suspect it was either someone in the house or the other culprit they not saying anything about that.

[@betsyp500]

THIS MAKES YOU SO MAD, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO START DOING STAYING UP AND WATCHING AROUND OUR OWN HOUSE AND BE READY WHENEVER THEY COME IN WITH OUR WEAPONS

[@ms.opinionated4422]

No. I hate to write this, but you will probably find that one or both of those young men were involved in something they should not have been. It’s rare that someone runs up in your home with guns for nothing. Furthermore, everyone was shot. That sounds like a botched execution. Whoever it was tried to take out the whole family.

[@fiyahriddims]

Father's?! All she know is "get hit and gone".

[@deeliciousgrapes]

I just don't understand why parents live in hood, don't act like parents but them want sympathy when something happens to their kids. Her and her mom don't look distraught. She is literally forcing herself to look sad and it's pathetic. You can clearly see the lack of involvement she had with her kids because the pics that were put up were pics of her kids holding up gang signs. I'm not falling for it. If my kids were killed, there is no way that I'd be able to get in front of a camera and speak clearly. Fake news honey...fake news.

[@mildredpatterson318]

Lord, Lord, Lord 😢 please look and have mercy on this family 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@avelinomiseray6868]

Tell them kids to stop throwing up gang signs 😮
