Kids who witnessed the funeral and the shooting of the pallbearer went to therapy.
Two officers interrupted a funeral and shot a pallbearer.
Owens' aunt said if she sat for a long time she would hear people screaming.
Children in attendance looked on as two officers shot at a pallbearer who had just carried his father's casket into the hearse.
Two witnesses told Insider that the scene at the Amos Carvelli Funeral Home was shocking.
Two officers from the US marshals service came out of nowhere, interrupted the funeral, and started shooting at the Owens family.
Owens' father's death shocked the family. He passed away from a heart attack. She said that they were all distraught over Owens' shooting.
Kids as young as 9 were present at the funeral. She said that a few of them are in therapy trying to understand what happened.
The kids stood close to Owens as he and other pallbearers put the casket into the hearse. Owens stood close enough to his son to see the blood on his shirt.
Liz said that the children could have been shot.
Since Owens' death, the youngest child has been having nightmares.
Liz sympathized with the little girl.
The aunts told Insider that the officers were not wearing clothing or gear that made them look like officers.
Owens had just placed the casket into the hearse. He hugged his aunt with tears in his eyes after taking two steps.
Someone shouted out his name. He let go of the embrace and moved towards the noise. Owens fell to the ground after two officers shot at him.
He was watched by the family as he took his last breath.
She said she gets breathless when she talks about it.
The US marshals service directed Insider to West Virginia State Police, which didn't reply to Insider's request for comment on Liz and Sabrina's accounts.
Owens had five kids, the oldest of which stood near him when he was shot.
The Jeep was parked next to where Owens was shot by police.
Liz said that the children were screaming. They just didn't pay attention to it.
The family is traumatised by what they've seen.
After watching Owens get shot, Liz's brother went to the doctor to get "nerve pills" to calm his nerves.
Owens was crying after placing his father's body in the hearse. He turned around because he heard his name being called. He wouldn't have been able to see them anyway because he was crying so much.
Someone is going to get shot at their dad's funeral. Liz said something.
Owens was sentenced to 3 to 13 years in prison for fleeing from a sheriff's deputy. He was paroled in April last year after prosecutors said he tried to kill the deputy.
He didn't update his location with his officer because he wanted to be at his father's funeral. They said he was going to call his officer after the funeral.
The US marshals said Owens was wanted on a fugitive warrant but gave no details. The statement said the officers fired because Owens had produced a firearm.
There is no body-camera footage of the event. In response to a freedom of information request from WOWK-TV, the West Virginia State Police stated that it was not in possession of any relevant records.
The memories of seeing their nephew shot down continue to haunt them, even though they're trying to forget.
"I missed two weeks of work, just trying to get it out my head, and I've been working with a doctor to help with the trauma," Liz said.
If she sits still for long enough, she will start to hear people screaming in her head.
She said that you heard the shots being fired. I can still hear them screaming his name.
