NINE members of the Holcombe family died in the shooting

The youngest victim of the Sutherland Springs massacre was not 1 year old Noah Holcombe, as the media would have you believe. In reality, the unborn baby of Crystal and John Holcombe was the youngest victim. Crystal was eight months pregnant when she, her unborn baby, and three of her other children were killed.

Authorities have included the unborn child in the death toll of 26, and there is no doubt that all the news talk about about the Crystal being pregnant, but the media persists in reporting that the Holcombe family lost 8 members, when they really lost 9.

From The NY Times:

“One minute they were a family praying and the next – eight of them were gone.
Bryan and Karla Holcombe, a guest preacher and his wife, were dead.
Their son Marc Daniel Holcombe, gone. Their pregnant daughter-in-law, Crystal Holcombe, gone.
And four of their grandchildren — Noah, Emily, Megan and Greg — gone.”

The media trying it’s hardest to obscure the truth of the issue and deny the personhood of the Holcombe baby.

From CNN:

“Eight members of the Holcombe family died in the shooting, as well as an unborn child. . . Authorities have included Crystal Holcombe’s unborn child in the death toll of 26.”

From ABC News:
Crystal Holcombe, the wife of John Holcombe, who is the son of Bryan and Karla Holcombe, also died. Crystal Holcombe — a mother of five — was eight months pregnant, her cousin said, according to The Associated Press. Three of her children, Emily, Megan and Greg, died with her. Her unborn child was also counted in the death toll, authorities said.”
NINE members of the Holcombe family were murdered. FOUR of those were children of John and Crystal Holcombe.
