The family’s neighbor, Alicia McKnight, told The Tennessean that she heard commotion next door, and looked outside to see the 8-year-old girl trying to cross the street. McKnight said she motioned for the girl to come inside.
“She said he was swinging knives,” McKnight said. “She said ‘I’m scared for my life and I just want to be safe.’ She said she tried to wake her brother up but she knew he was dead.”
