By Joel Christie The tactical response team that staged a major operation in order to capture mass murder suspect Ron Haskell have praised the sole survivor of the shooting as the reason they were able to arrest him. Cassidy Stay, 15, is believed to have played dead as her mother, father and four siblings were allegedly executed by Hasking at their home in Spring, Texas. She reportedly lost a finger protecting herself from a bullet, which grazed her head, and called police as soon as Haskell left, warning them he was en route to her grandparents house. 'First of all and foremost the 15 year old girl is a hero, by all means,' Harris County Precinct 4 Assistant Chief Mark Herman told KHOU.
