A relative confirmed that Pamela is a mother of three children; a 9-year-old, a 6-year-old and a 5-month-old.

“The employees that witnessed this, it’s a hard place to be in. What they viewed, what they experienced, yeah, yeah, as for any of us, it would be very, very hard, very sad,” said ChaplainSonya Buncum.

Biggby’s closed after the incident, posting a sign that it would be closed for two days. Police are referring to the incident as a “freak accident.”
