     STEPHEN, KATIE, CASSIDY, BRYAN, EMILY, REBECCA, AND ZACH STAY

  (Mr. POE of Texas asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. POE of Texas. Mr. Speaker, a family in Spring, Texas, has been 
executed.
  The evil killer, disguised as a FedEx driver, forced his way into the 
home of the Stay family on Wednesday. He tied up one child, Cassidy, 
and waited and waited until all five children and their parents--Katie 
and Stephen--came home. Then he shot them one by one, killing six, and 
leaving Cassidy for dead. He fled the scene with more malice in his 
heartless soul, headed to kill the grandparents of the children.
  Cassidy called 911 to alert the law, and quickly, the murderer was 
caught before he could kill again.
  Murdered were Stephen, aged 39; Katie, aged 34; Bryan, aged 13; 
Emily, aged 9; Rebecca, aged 7; Zach, aged 4--and wounded was Cassidy, 
aged 15.
  The killer had come from Utah to Texas to seek revenge against the 
Stay family. He targeted the Stays because his ex-wife was a family 
relative.
  People in the quiet area of Spring, Texas, and Houston are saddened 
and shocked and are in mourning for their neighbors who had life 
viciously and violently stolen from them.
  The killer is charged with capital murder in Texas, and if found 
guilty, hopefully, a Texas jury will help him meet his Maker very soon.
  And that's just the way it is.
