It's so difficult to comprehend how something so violent could happen in what should be a peaceful place and time. I feel for Alvin's family and friends, knowing this tragedy happened right around church hour, a time usually meant for reflection and community. The fact that Gary Kristin Batton was arrested so soon after the incident brings some reassurance that justice was pursued, albeit under terrible circumstances. I can’t imagine how Alvin's family and the community of Loris must have felt in the aftermath as they tried to piece together why this unfolded the way it did. The 22-year sentence may bring some closure, but it will never bring Alvin back. My thoughts go out to everyone affected by this senseless tragedy.
