Hey all,
It's been a while, and have I got a story to tell you. This is the link to the news article, I'll fill in the blanks with what I know.
The morning of Monday, June 22nd; my aunt, Anne-Marie Rino, called my uncle David and told him how she wanted to be buried. He didn't think anything of it at the time. Afterwords, she got a gun, went to my little cousin, Gabriella Marin-Rino, and shot her point blank in the head; blew off her face and the top of her skull. Finally, she laid down on the couch, put on a pair of headphones, and shot herself in the chest.
Uncle Dave found the bodies around 3:30, just about when I was getting out of my High School graduation ceremony. It's been a really big shock to all of us, obviously. It's been especially surreal for me. I remember going to Gaby's baptism. She was only 8.
What really steams me is all the rumors that are flying around. People are so clueless it's sad. I've been reading the comments in various news articles online and they only infuriate me. Someone accused an imaginary ex-boyfriend of committing the crimes, someone said that it was just the "jean pool(sic)" cleaning itself out. It's enough to drive me bonkers.
Anyway, I just wanted to stop by and tell you how I've been. I'm slowly approaching my 6th year as a Newgrounds denizen (found the site in '03, signed up '04) and it's amazing how much has changed, grown, and evolved. I guess I'll see you all around.
