"A typical busy Saturday night at the Thornton's in the 4100 block of Cane Run Road suddenly turned terrifying.

"Investigators said a number of witnesses saw the scene unfold at the gas station around 11 p.m.

"Christina Joslin died at the scene. Scott Joslin was taken to University of Louisville Hospital where he died Sunday afternoon.

"The crime has left many people shaken.

"`Our kids saw it as well. We tried to cover it up, but the sad thing is they saw it, too. So we're going to have to counsel them as well,` said Clay.

"Hours later, locals still couldn't believe what happened.

"Dewayne and Sandy Harris live next to the store.

"`Everybody takes care of everybody around here and everyone's shocked that it happened right here. I mean, a lot of people go in the Thornton's every day,` said Sandy Harris.

"`I mean, yeah, you might get in an argument, but there's no use in killing somebody over it,` said Dewayne Harris.
