The daughter and son-in-law of Missouri state Rep. Ben Baker were killed in Haiti while doing missionary work, the lawmaker confirmed on Friday. Natalie Baker and Davy Lloyd were attacked by one of the country's numerous armed gangs, which control large swaths of the territory, especially the capital Port-au-Prince.
"My heart is broken in a thousand pieces. I'd never felt this kind of pain," said Baker, a Republican, in a Facebook post. He added in a subsequent publication that their bodies were taken to the embassy. "Thank you to everyone who is praying and offering condolences it's been overwhelming and we can't thank you enough," he said.
