In a horrifying night in Rocklands, masked gunmen stormed a home, killing nineyearold Zechariah, 26yearold Mougsheen, and 19yearold Cleo in just 90 seconds. Two others were hurt. Police think it was a planned attack, not a robbery, because nothing was stolen. The community is terrified, and schools are mourning the young lives lost, as police try to find the killers.
