Re Lynn:
"Her daughter, 18, also lives in the apartment, and the daughter's 10-month-old girl."
" Outside the development, Holguin surveyed holes in the vinyl siding made by at least five bullets.I can't believe this happened so close," she said."
Yeah, guys who walk out on teen mothers with infants are usually so level-headed...
