How could this happen to a four year old? TRIGGER WARNING

This story is sad and may be triggering to some viewers. This is a real story of violence and death including that of a child, please don't continue reading if this is not something you would like to read.

On September 21st at 1:44 am in the small town and my home Struthers Ohio, a man invaded the home of 22 year old Alexis Schneider where her and her boyfriend (Yarnell Green) and another couple (Cassandra and Andre) and Alexis 4 year old son Rowan Sweeney, and opened fire both males suffered critical gunshot wounds, Andre was shot twice in the head. Yarnell shot 6 times in the back. Both females suffered gunshot wounds to the lower extremeties. Alexis begged the shooter not to shoot her son and he walked up to him and he fatally shot him twice in the head. Yes.. You read that correctly. He shot a 4 year old baby in his head leaving everyone in my community speechless. How? But more importantly why? There is no justification. The next day (Bryant) turned himself in claiming he was connected but not the shooter. While that is still under investigation authorities found text messages between one of the men in the home (McCoy) and the thought shooter (Bryant) Bryant asking if the other man green had a gun and McCoy saying No, it was stolen a week ago, also McCoy telling the shooter to just come up the stairs and open the door. (I will leave a link for a more detailed description on what happened.) Rowan Sweeney's parents David Sweeney and Alexis Schneider had shared parenting Rowan was visiting his mother that night. Driving past Perry st where me and my children actually used to reside across the street from his house, Teddy bears, photos, balloons, fill the stairs of the home. I cannot get this boy and his family off of my mind. My community is in mourning and shock. How can someone be so violently cold? How could you hurt a child?... The whole story on what happened has not been figured out yet. We don't know why or how this has happened. But we demand justice for this sweet little boy. His innocent short life ended for no probable cause. We are angry and we are sad. Rowan's father has requested for everyone to share his story and his babies smile.

The news considering this a mass shooting. It hits too close to home and I just wanted to share this on a platform that it may not have been shared yet to fulfill his father's request and share this beautiful child's tragic story. His father is using all proceeds and donations to build a park in our community in his honor and memory. Thank you for reading and seeing his smile. I will cop and paste the links below.
