Causing a STIR ?


Dead neighbors do tend to get the tongues wagging.

BUT, what about ".........into his home where his family was located lying face down........"

How MANY of his family were lying face down ?

Are they OK ?

Google translation and the lack of a comma. If the family were harmed as well would not the story have been titled and presented in a different manner? I am always wary of translations not done by a professional service.
