HUNTSVILLE, Texas (AP) — An inmate was executed Wednesday for gunning down two teenage girls with an assault rifle at a mobile home nine years ago.
In a brief, final statement, Jasen Shane Busby thanked his family for "standing by me" and expressed love for them. He turned to relatives of his victims and said that he "didn't do what I did to hurt you all. I am sorry that I did what I did."
Busby, 28, was arrested within an hour after Tennille Thompson, 18, and Brandy Gray, 16, were killed. A third person was shot in the neck but managed to call for help. He identified Busby as the gunman and testified against him.
