HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Hundreds of people have attended a vigil in Connecticut in honor of two young brothers who were killed by their grandmother before she committed suicide.
The vigil held Friday night in North Stonington was also held to support the boys’ parents, Jeremy and Brenda Perry.
The Day of New London reports that Jeremy Perry told the crowd: “Your support is probably the only reason we’re still on our feet right now.”
Police say Brenda Perry’s mother, Debra Denison, left a suicide note and took a revolver from her house Tuesday before picking up 2-year-old Alton Perry and 6-month-old Ashton at their day care in North Stonington. Their bodies were found in a van hours later after a frantic search.
The medical examiner’s office says the boys had multiple gunshot wounds.
So awful for those poor people! Prayers to them all!
My heart is broken of what happened to the little boy and his baby brother. Two sweet innocent lives gone. My heart and prayers go out to the boys parents. May they somehow find peace. R.I.P. angels.
God bless
the heaven’s welcomed two angels.
Why didn’t she just drop them somewhere where they could have been found SAFE, then went and killed herself instead of taking those two babies with her and shooting them the way she did!? I mean COME ON!!, shot multiple times??? Wth! R.I.P babies…rot in hell you pos excuse of a human being for doing what you did to those kids!
