CONWAY — Five years ago Monday, a horrific shooting at the Army Barracks store in North Conway rocked the Mount Washington Valley.
The shooter, Michael Woodbury, then 31 of Windham, Maine, has been sentenced to prison for the rest of his life for murdering three people. Now the mother of one of the victims is awaiting a federal court ruling in her case against Woodbury's grandfather who she says was negligent for failing to prevent Woodbury from getting the murder weapon.
