Amish Grace Page #5

- What... Why are you showing me this?

- Amy, that's my truck!

The truck I loaned Charlie last week!

- (Baby Crying)

- Wait, Sheriff, what can you tell us...

I'm sorry, Ma'am.

I can't give you any information.

(Car Doors Opening)

No word on names or any other details?

No, the news conference

isn't for another 40 minutes.

- Yeah. Yeah, I got it.

- (Beeps)

Leonard doesn't want us

to wait for the news conference.

He wants us to go live in 10,

so pick your spot...

and I'm gonna find a uniform to talk to.

I think that's one of the parents.

Do we know anything new?

No, not yet.

(Panting)

Oh, dear God.

No then. I understand.

I need to know where my daughters are.

Ma'am, that's what I'm trying

to sort out right now.

But we got girls sent

to four different hospitals.

They're all wearing the same clothes,

and we got no photos to help us out.

Has no one asked the girls their names?

Ma'am, from what I understand,

not a one of them is conscious.

Ruth.

I should have stayed, shouldn't I?

I just thought that if

I went to get help, maybe...

There's no way that you could have known

what that man was set to do.

- A total stranger.

- He wasn't a stranger, Mama.

I've seen him before... lots of times.

Where? Who was he?

The man who drives the milk truck.

It was Charlie? Charlie Roberts?

I did find this letter

from Charlie saying "good-bye"...

saying that he was mad at God...

because our little girl had died,

and he was gonna take revenge on God.

That's her.

Lisa died the day she was born.

He... He called. and I... I didn't

understand what he was saying.

I thought he was telling me

that he was gonna kill himself.

I don't think it's possible

that he could ever hurt children.

My husband is... was a good man.

Ma'am, we found a list of the items

he took into the school with him.

And receipts from the hardware store

where he bought them.

The dates on those receipts

go back six days.

We believe that your husband had been

planning this crime for at least a week.

Would you please excuse me?

I don't feel well.

- (Coos)

- (Door Closes)

It appears that Charles Carl Roberts IV...

a local milk truck driver

who is not Amish...

entered the school at 10:35 this morning

carrying an arsenal that included...

a shotgun, several pistols,

along with 600 rounds of ammunition.

He ordered all the boys

to leave the room...

and then took 10 girls hostage.

(Clears Throat)

Soon after police arrived at the scene...

Roberts shot all 10 girls

and then took his own life.

We're being told that three of the girls

were either found dead at the scene...

or died shortly thereafter.

All of the other girls
