I went out for lunch with people at boston pizza in Lethbridge today and while a friend of mine was waiting for a table, two girls infront of her we talking about it. Somehow my friend came involved, and it turns out the two girls she was talking to were with them that night. I'm not trying to speculate any kind of story, as I have respect for all of the victims and their families, however this is what they told her. They had all gone out to the Balarney Stone in Lethbridge that night to celebrate one of the victims birthdays, and thats when they ran into Derek Jensen. He found out that Stepple was driving the three to the Calgary airport to go home for Christmas, and became extremely jealous. When Stepple left to drive them to Calgary, Jensen went home and got his riffle, caught up with them on the highway, and drove them off the road, with a horrific ending. It shouldnt matter about the timeline of this story, regardless of what they were doing at what time doesnt really matter. What matters is that 3 young lives were lost in a horrific tradgedy that should never have happened. I've already heard the story first hand about the RCMP having to tell Stepple's father he has list his only child, and it just breaks my heart, because something like this never should have happened.

My prayers, thoughts, and deepest condolences go out to the families and the victims <3
