On the front lawn of her family’s home in the town’s Simmonsville neighborhood, a 15-year-old girl was shot.
Her father, 44-year-old Thomas “TJ” May, had been shot in the head and had passed away in the garage.
Janet Harrison, age 83, had also passed away from the same injuries in the home next door.
