Disbelief

Canton says she’s in disbelief that her neighbor could be involved in such a horrific crime.
“He seemed like a normal kid. I mean I see him outside, driving. They wash their cars. I’ve seen him with his friends. They have like little race cars...they would be out there," Canton spoke.
According to the Sheriff's Homicide Bureau, no deputies were injured in this incident.
