Lancaster Sheriff Barry Faile condemned the crime in a Monday statement, per Fox News.
“This shooting defies any sense of decency in a civilized society,” he said.
“Ms. Thompson was going about her business on a Friday night, not bothering anyone,” he added.
“All of a sudden, these six men and boys — out to get something for nothing from someone they did not know and had no business bothering,” Faile continued.
“There’s no place in our society for acts like this or the people who commit them, and my hope is these six are never again among us.”
