BEULAH, Fla. (AP) — Authorities say a mother and father were shot to death in a home invasion in Florida while eight of their children slept.
Escambia County Sheriff David Morgan said Friday that three men are being sought for questioning in the deaths Thursday night. He says the men were driving a red van seen leaving the home of Byrd and Melanie Billings, the couple found shot to death in Beulah, west of Pensacola.
Authorities say the eight children living in the home were found safe. They say deputies had to wake some of the children who ranged from 8 to 14 years old.
The Billings had 16 children, 12 of them adopted.
The Billings owned several businesses and were known for their generosity in adopting children with disabilities and from troubled backgrounds.

LESSON: Don't ignore the Lord. Donks have no place in a True Christian™ household.
Lev.21:17-23 Whosoever ... hath any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God. For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous, Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded, Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken; No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God. ... Only he shall not go in unto the vail, nor come nigh unto the altar, because he hath a blemish; that he profane not my sanctuaries.
Praise the sweet and living name of Jesus Christ!
