December 15th: Bradley William Stone Kills (2014) You never know if a person who you once considered a part of your family will, one day, feel scorned enough to take a life. A person who you trusted and let into your life only to have it backfire in the most dangerous way. On December 15th 2014 a man went on a killing spree and targeted a family he was once a part of. A family who, though I’m sure they saw the red flags, probably never considered he may be a danger to them.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_Montgomery_County_shootings, https://murderpedia.org/male.S/s/stone-bradley.htm, https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/tasneemnashrulla/at-least-five-dead-as-gunman-goes-on-rampage-in-pennsylvania, https://www.mcall.com/news/breaking/mc-montco-shooting-spree-bradley-stone-dead-20141216-story.html, https://www.nydailynews.com/news/crime/suspect-allegedly-killed-barricaded-pa-home-article-1.2045591 Learn more about your ad choices.
