Welcome to IHIP News. We want to share some devastating news with our listener and our viewer.

And when you have a place of employment where you work every day and you have a podcast like this,

all you see is us in front of the camera. But there are people behind the cameras that work for us,

and it's a small office, and they're your work family.

And sadly, somebody that we work with and that we love very much

was shot and killed Saturday night in Oklahoma City in a senseless, senseless

shooting.

And his name is Javier Morales, Jr.

And we called him Hobby.

And he's worked for me for seven years since he was a teenager.

And he was only 24 years old.

And every day when we come in this office, he's happy.

And he did everything that you asked him to do with a smile on his face, with compassion, with a joy.

And he was never late, not one day to work.

If you asked him to come in on a Saturday, he'd say, no problem, Jen, I got you.

And his family, his mother, Starlett, and his father, Javier Sr., and his

brothers, his three little brothers that he helped take care of, are in agony. And we hear,

and I've had a podcast and IHIP news are shattered in a million pieces at his loss.

And I guess if you live in America long enough, you hear the stories on the news all

the time about people getting shot and you think it's awful and you think why doesn't anybody

do anything about guns.

And then somebody you love gets shot.
