A Little Falls guy faces arraignment Monday in the shooting deaths of a pair of teen cousins who went missing Thanksgiving Day and whose bodies were found by police the next day in the basement of the guy 's central Minnesota home. Little Falls school officials determined the victims as cousins Haile Kifer, 18, and Nicholas Brady, 17. Authorities on Sunday were holding Byron David Smith, 64, of Little Falls, who they anticipated will be charged Monday with second-degree murder. Smith informed police he shot the two during a burglary, but authorities have stated his actions exceeded a sensible self-defense. The Minneapolis Star-Tribune stated that about 200 people collected Sunday night for a vigil at Little Falls High School for Kifer and Brady. Mourners kept in mind both as athletic and friendly.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
