RARE PHOTOS: Remembering the lives lost in philadelphia mass shooting 69b2db37 c1e1 4986 add1 78faceaefe79 - The Real Truth

PHILADELPHIA — The victims of the mass shooting in Kingsessing died going about their daily life: walking to get food, checking on a friend, responding to neighbors in need.

They were aspiring college athletes and twin brothers; loving sons and fathers. They had plans — one to walk his daughter down the aisle, another to propose to the love of his life.
