(CNN) -- There is a $25,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of whoever fatally shot two female postal workers Monday morning in a western Tennessee post office, federal postal authorities said.
The incident in the town of Henning, about 50 miles northeast of Memphis, was reported shortly before 9 a.m. (10 a.m. ET) in a 911 call to the Lauderdale County Sheriff's Department, said District Attorney Mike Dunavant., who would not divulge who made the call.

Prayers to the family:(

It's amazing how stories like this become so 'intimate' once we hear the details - because deep down we connect in so many ways.

'Females' - means they were likely 'mothers' with a mother's heart. For anyone that has a daughter it probably means more. In this 'moment' it meant two people fortunate enough to have a stable income and know the fullest blessings of 'benefits' that so many others have lost.

What could drive a person to regard another as though their life has no meaning or value??

I'll pray for the family too Frixxxx - that somehow they will know that many others refuse to allow such a mindset to exist. That they will know that many do regard life with the greatest value and the deepest meaning.
 
Chastain Montgomery is a former state corrections officer whose grandfather was the first black mayor of Henning and best friend of "Roots" author Alex Haley.


But now, following a bizarre series of events last week, the 47-year-old Montgomery was indicted Thursday on charges that he and his teenage son were responsible for the shooting deaths of two postal employees last October in Henning.
 
So this guy is a former prison guard and now he is going to end up "inside"? What the hell was he thinking? As a former prison guard myself I can safely surmise this guy isn't going to to well in prison. That sort of thing doesn't play well with the convicts. Oh he is going to get his alright:rolleyes:
