Jennifer Hudson''s parents found dead!!

[Kaleigh]

Anyone know what happened? The local news just had it as a headline, more at 11:00.
I can''t imagine, feeling terrible for her.

 

[Irishgrrrl]

Oh no! I love Jennifer Hudson! Her poor parents . . . this is terrible!

 

[Kaleigh]

My title is incorrect. Her mother was found dead, shot to death. I apologize for that. But my local TV station said her parents were found dead. I won''t report anything till I lknow it to be 100%....

The mother and brother of Jennifer Hudson, one of America’s most celebrated singers, were reportedly shot dead last night in their home in Chicago’s South Side.

“A missing child was possibly abducted from the scene and may be in the company of William Balfour, a suspect in [this] double homicide investigation,” the Chicago police said in a statement, adding that the suspect was “armed and dangerous”.

I heard about this on the radio. It''s just so very sad. She had so many positive things going on at the moment and then something tragic like this happens. Sad.

 

[iheartscience]

Wow, what a terrible story...I hope they catch the person who did it and get the child back asap!

 

[neatfreak]

This is just so sad.

Its been big news here in Chicago.

The mother and unidentified male were found at 3:00p by another family member. Suspected domestic violence. Young boy Julien (sp) was abducted, last seen in a 1993 white Chevy Suburban--could possibly be in a green Crystler.

Is there an Amber alert out for Julien?

I don''t know if this story has been posted yet: http://www.chicagotribune.com/chi-jennifer-hudson-timeline-1027,0,1408545.story

It bothers me that the neighbors heard the shots but didn''t call police. Maybe its because I''m extremely nosy but if I even hear people yelling at each other, I call the cops. I rather the cops come out for nothing then it be something and I stood shut

I just heard on CNN that the body of Jenifer Hudson''s nephew ( Julien ) was found in the car the suspect used to flee the scene. So very sad. Breaks my heart.
