Bro. Robert Wise was mercilessly gunned down when leaving McAllen Lodge No. 1110 in July this year by an anti-Mason. On Nov 27, members of Bro. Wise's family filed suit against the Grand Lodge of Texas and McAllen Lodge for negligence and gross negligence for failing to make the Lodge and its curtilage safe.
