Fundraiser for the Carroll-Gatling family

by John Reid

Yesterday in Dumfries, tragedy struck as the five members of the Carroll-Gatling family were shot by a 20-year-old DC man, who is now in custody. One child, 3-year-old Journee, was killed, while the other four members of the family remain in the ICU.

A GoFundMe has been set up by Alix Grimm. In it, Grimm explains that the family already lost their mother in September. The goal is to raise $10,000 to help them with travel to and from the hospital, food, and to provide a funeral for Journee.
