SUTHERLAND SPRINGS, Texas – Two people were arrested in Sutherland Springs after the sheriff said they were harassing family members of the shooting victims.

Robert Ussery was charged with communicating terroristic threat and Jodi Mann was charged with criminal trespassing and resisting arrest after reportedly telling the pastor of the church, Frank Pomeroy, that his daughter, who was killed in the massacre, never existed.

The pair believes that the U.S. government staged the church shooting that killed 26 people. 

Counselors to these family members said this type of harassment delays the grieving process.

Mary Beth Fisk with the Ecumenical Center for Education, Counseling and Health has been instrumental in guiding Sutherland Springs shooting victim's family members through their grief.

Fisk has worked closely with both adults and children affected by the mass shooting.

Horrified to learn that some of her clients, the Pomeroy family, have experienced harassment, she knew their journey toward healing after tragedy would be affected.

"For families to be told that this didn't happen is a denial of reality. Lives were lost. It lengthens the recovery process, the grief process for these families. It impedes the grief process," said Fisk. 

Fisk said in her entire career, she's never had a client forced to defend the reality of their loss. She said that while she worries about the Pomeroy family's progress, she's proud of Sheriff Joe Tackitt's decision to make these arrests.
