Prayers for victim and alleged shooter day after CMU shooting

MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. (WOOD) — On Saturday night, the campus of Central Michigan University was virtually empty as the 26,000 students left town for spring break.

But a few people were still there a day after police say 19-year-old sophomore James Eric Davis, Jr. used the gun of his police officer father to kill his parents — James Eric Davis Sr. and his wife, Diva.

The seven or eight people who came tonight to Saint Mary University Parish offered a moment of silence and prayers that included the parents slain Friday morning, the siblings now made orphans by their own brother and they also remembered the teen now charged with murder.

“Jesus still loves James Eric Davis, Jr. and He is still seeking him and we as a community, need to pray for him,” said Father T.J. Fleming to the humble gathering.

Those at the gathering agreed with Fleming, saying Davis, Jr. was in need of prayers as well.
