Trigger Warning This story may contain descriptions of physical and sexual violence that some survivors may find particularly upsetting. Please consider your triggers and well-being before reading past this point.

On July 4th, a friend of ours by the name of Shannon Engle was murdered by her boyfriend because he refused to leave his ex girlfriend he shot her once in the head and killed her it was a very senseless crime we had tried repeatedly to get her away from him and she would not leave she was only 22 years old and the last thing she told me was he said if she didn’t come with him she would be sorry. Well, I hope 15-25 years will make him sorry.
