\u201cI\u2019m like, \u2018Where did he get shot?\u2019 You know? \u2018Where is he right now? I wanna, you know, go see him or help.\u2019 And she didn\u2019t tell me initially where he got shot,\u201d she said. \u201cShe just said he didn\u2019t make it.

You don\u2019t have to steal, you know? Especially take a life over it, like, human life is disregarded too [easily] guys.\u201d<\/p>\n
Farrell also directly addressed Wactor, stating: \u201cI love you very much and I\u2019m very proud of you for the person you\u2019ve become and the obstacles you\u2019ve overcame.

I hope those last moments were OK for you and I\u2019m glad someone was with you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re Southern, born and raised, and we would never let a female walk to their car by herself,\u201d said Grant. \u201cHe came across them and he thought his truck was being towed. So he said something to the guys, like, \u2018Hey, are you towing?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
