The sister of one of the four people killed in West Virginia last week said she has forgiven the shooter, and asked others to do the same.
Jody Lee Hunt shot Sharon Kay Berkshire, Doug Brady, Michael Frum, and Jody Taylor on December 1, before turning the gun on himself. Berkshire's sister said God will judge Hunt, not her.
"I believe in forgiveness," Rachel Coll of Seguin, Texas told the Associated Press. "It's not my job to judge Jody. It's God's job. So I ask that whatever forgiveness we can find in our hearts, we have to forgive."
Coll's sister has been identified as Hunt's ex-girlfriend, whom he dated for two years. Court documents show Berkshire, 39, filed a restraining order against Hunt last year, but dropped it two weeks later. Another protective order was issued on October 26, 2014 but, again, dropped two weeks later.
Frum, 28, was Berkshire's new boyfriend of just a few months, and they were renting a home together. Hunt, 39, also accused Berkshire of having a past relationship with 43-year-old Taylor, his cousin and business partner in a towing company.
Brady, 45, was a business rival whom Hunt had accused of poaching clients. All four victims were killed by gunshot wounds.
Funerals for Brady, Frum, and Taylor were held last week, and Berkshire was interred on Monday. Berkshire's family established a GoFundMe page to raise money for the funeral, and $8,000 was donated in six days.
"We said our final goodbyes to my mama yesterday," her daughter, Ashley, wrote on Tuesday. "It was [a] very hard day.
"Id [sic] like to say me, my mama and family are so greatful [sic] for all the help and support we recieved [sic] from all you wonderful people . Thank you all so much. I can't express how much helping us reach our goal has is [sic] appreciated. Thank you all again and god bless you all."
