Family of NY mom Jamey Carney recounts shock after murder in Ireland

The family of New York mother Jamey Carney, who was killed in her Ireland home, says hearing the devastating news was a shock and a nightmare.

The couple reportedly met at an anti-Israel protest. Carney’s relatives urge that the tragedy not be used to fuel prejudice as investigators continue to pursue answers.
