She staying in her father's house to take care of him and she lives in GA. She drove from Georgia to Texas to be with her parents so her parents has some one to take care of them, when no one of their family was there. And oh yeah... their family lives in the same area and they can't even help out, so they call for her help to be with their old parents. FYI. she's not there to shack in her parents house because she doesn't have a family back home!

Just another member of our community who lacks emotional control over the situation at hand.

For all those making snarky comments, don't forget that the father may be incapacitated and may need permanent care. And she may have been the only one willing to do it. That's one possibility. Another is that they're just a trigger-happy family who hates its own members enough to fire at 'em. KA-BLAMM-O!
