As we come back in the newsroom, I want to tell you some breaking news.
During that conversation just now,
we just got the identity of the victim, the pilot on board.
According to the church, Roswell United Methodist,
they're identifying the victim as Eric Stevens.
And I will tell you, we
were doing some research before we came on here at 2 o'clock,
and that is who the plane is registered
to according to the tail number.
The N number that is on the back of the aircraft.
So he was the registered owner of this aircraft.
And so I just want to read you what we're getting
from Roswell United Methodist Church.
It just got it on my phone just a couple of moments ago.
It said Roswell United Methodist Church deeply grieves
the death of Eric Stevens, a longtime church member and friend.
We ask that you join us in keeping his wife, Cammie,
daughters, Catherine, Mary and their family in your prayers.
The sanctuary and chapel will be open today beginning at 3 p.m.
So just about 45 minutes for anyone who would
would like to pray. There will be organized time
of prayer beginning at 4 p.m. Clergy and
Stevens ministers will be available this afternoon
and evening to talk and pray alongside you. A
prayer quilt will be placed in the sanctuary today
through Sunday worship. We invite you to pray over
the quilt for Eric's family as it will be given
to provide God's comfort and love. May the peace
of God which surpasses all understandings keep your hearts
and minds in the knowledge of Christ Jesus
And it says, your Roswell Church family.
So again, breaking right now at 2 o'clock,
we just were able to get the identity of the person who died
aboard the plane in Lawrenceville
that crashed as it was trying to land.
Again, identified as Eric Stevens.
And that is who the plane is registered to, according to the FAA.
It's a story that our Larry Spruill is following right now.
And he'll bring us the very latest throughout the afternoon.
