The Grandfather Got Fed up With His Family, Then He Shot His Daughter and His Grandchildren
The Spirit tragedy
Don reached his breaking point.
He couldn’t hide his hate for his grandchildren anymore. He couldn’t keep in the disappointment he felt towards his daughter. So Don went inside and collected his gun.
He fired.
Moments later, Don called 911.
Dispatcher: 911, What’s the address of your emergency?
Don: Yes Ma’am. I just shot my daughter.
And shot all my grandkids. And I’ll be sitting on my step. And when you get here, I want to shoot myself.
Dispatcher: What is the address that you’re at sir?
Don: 2550 NW 25th Terrace, Don Spirit….. Every one of them are dead.
Dispatcher: And you said your name is Don Spirit?
Don: Yep.
Dispatcher: Alright Don, what kind of gun do you have?
Don: It doesn’t matter what kind of gun. They’re all dead. And when you get here I’ll shoot myself. And then you figure out what kind of gun it is …..
Dispatcher: Okay how many people?
Don: Six kids and one adult. And one of them is a baby.
