PAMPA, Texas (AP) - This small agricultural community in the Texas Panhandle is typically a quiet place, with the upcoming harvest or latest high school football game often the talk of the town's 18,000 residents.
But that hasn't been the case the past few weeks — with residents fearful and speculation swirling since a farmer, his pregnant wife and her 14-year-old son were killed in their remote farmhouse.
"They're definitely scared and keeping their guns loaded," said David Haynes, who works at the Gray-Roberts County Farm Bureau and deals with ranchers and farmers in the area. "If you live in a big city, you expect a shooting like this. Not out here."
