Victor Nieves Incident Detail

According to the press statement, the 12-year-old was doing great while the 10-year-old suffered greatly and was still not stable. However, the youngest of the siblings escaped unharmed. The shooter has a Facebook account, but it only revealed that he was single and resided in Springfield, providing few further data about him. But it appears from the pictures on the page that he had both a boy and a girl as children.

Additionally, according to Boston.com, Nieves has a criminal past that includes charges for possessing an illegal firearm in 2011 and a motor vehicle in 2017. "I am deeply sorry for these children and their families," the DA stated in the statement. My thoughts and prayers are with the parents of these kids as well as Ms. Fairbanks' family and friends. Gulluni continued, "As detectives, we will do everything we can to support this family as we proceed and wrap up the criminal case.

Cheryl C. Clapprood, the superintendent of the Springfield Police Department, said, "This is an incredible tragedy, and I am praying for this family. This is among the most tragic situations I can recall in my more than forty years with the Springfield Police Department. She continued, "I am extremely proud of my officers who were the first responders that were able to get these children to Baystate as rapidly as they did," before stating, "

We are holding a debriefing for those officers and will provide any support that we can because most officers won't have to encounter a scene like that in their entire career." In addition, Mayor Domenic J. Sarno also released a statement, which read in part, "I have spoken to the mother of the children who were seriously harmed by an unprovoked and despicable attack put forth by Victor Nieves to, first of all, offer my support, thoughts, prayers, and encouragement to her and her family."

I beg Springfield's compassionate community to remember this family in their prayers and to be ready to help them once more in their time of need. Also, my condolences for the loss of the children's grandma, Kim Fairbanks.
