A horrific incident took place on Tuesday, December 26, 2023, when a 23-year-old boy attacked his family and ended up killing his mother.

Jennifer reportedly told Kasey to call the facility authorities and let them know that they were coming. While doing the same, Kasey heard her mother's screams. She allegedly heard her mother yelling and saying,
"He’s stabbing me, he’s stabbing me."
Eventually, Kasey and Savannah were also attacked, but they survived. When authorities came, they saw the suspect on top of his sister with a knife.

Jennifer was a teacher at Sallie Jones Elementary. The school authorities issued a statement saying,
"Our Sallie Jones Tiger family needs to share some tough news with all of you this evening. It is with heartfelt sadness that we let you know that Mrs. Crumrine, one of our fourth-grade teachers, has passed away."
Connor Crumrine had been booked into the Charlotte County Jail. He has been charged with three counts of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and resisting an officer without violence.
