Horror revisits Texas

It sounds like a plot from a scary movie, but a grandfather and his 4 grandsons have been killed by a convicted murderer Gonzalo Lopez who escaped from a prisoner bus last month. The hunt for Lopez was one of the largest in Texas history – but sadly, they didn’t find him in time. Mark Collins (66yo) and brothers Waylon (18yo), Carson (16yo), and Hudson (11yo), and their cousin Bryson Collins (11yo) went to the family ranch for some fishing but were found dead after relatives were unable to reach them. It’s unclear whether Lopez was already inside the ranch house when the Collins family arrived or if he broke in while they were there. Reports say Lopez fled in the farm truck, and he was killed hours later in a shootout with police. “These precious people who loved and were loved by so many will never be forgotten,” the family said. Texas is still reeling after the 24 May attack on Robb Elementary School that left 19 students and 2 teachers dead.
