Kirsten Williams Family Reacts To Arrests

Kirsten Williams' family reacts to arrests

Kirsten Williams was the 7 year-old killed last week during a drive-by shooting.  Police officials pledged to work day and night to solve the crime.  They announced three arrests Wednesday.  I was tasked with trying to get reaction from the girl's family.  We had a number for her grandmother, but calls went unreturned.  It's difficult because you don't really want to hound a grieving family.  I searched Kirsten's obituary for other possible family contacts, cross-checked on Facebook, and sent a direct message to a great aunt.  Fortunately, she was more than willing to express the family's gratitude for the swift arrests.
