Sergeant Tyrone Hassel III

Like, the news spread it fast.

Everybody was crying and screaming and falling everywhere.

Kamiya Hassel was obviously there when I got there.

So she was helpful.

She answered the questions.

She advised she was at home.

They advised that they were both on leave from the US military, staying at the Hassel house for Christmas vacation.

That evening on New Year's Eve, family members went to a party.

She was left home alone with her infant child.

She advised just before 11 o'clock.

Tyrone came home, brought her some food, stayed for a brief minute.

Tyrone was leaving, going to his vehicle, walking out the door.

And she heard several gunshots at that point, which time she walked outside and found
