  • Please email seanmactira@gmail.com so I can consult the family before you use this in any commercial projects. Read the whole story and see him surprise his sister and mom at graywolfsurvival.com/mason. I've been a family friend for many years. His dad is one of my best friends. It was hard to keep this a secret for so long.

      I agree, imagine being sleeping in your own house at night, and then they wake you up and shot your children in the head
      "The raiding party allegedly dragged the victims out of their beds and shot them in the head or chest. A survivor was subsequently interrogated and pictures were taken of the dead bodies. Investigations later determined that most of the victims were aged between 12 and 18 years and were enrolled in local schools"
