some safe neighborhood i live in.
guns! bullets! carjacking!
insane. i live in the suburbs. i live in a place where my kids play outside. and in the park. and they walk home from school. the last i heard my kids were in school. in lockdown. but i don’t know anything. no one really knows anything.
insane. this is my mall. where i work out. and get my hair cut. and buy my lululemons. i’m there every day. every single day.
wow. i’m shocked.
and i really want to hug my kids right now.
and move.
****update. all three kids have been accounted for. and hugged to death.
My goodness… so glad to hear all is ok,…
oh my god. how scary. am glad youare all okay
That’s scary and horrible. I’m glad you are all okay. But still … scary!
I’m not sure that there is a safe community anywhere. I just hug my son and hope that we are relatively safe. But, it’s sooo sooo scary – and a little too close to home.
hi Ali thats frightening isn’t it?!wow.we live in a not-so-nice neighbourhood and my childrens school has been locked down because there was a man in nearby strip mall and codos with a gun.its frightening world we live in.glad everyones ok.
But where would you move? That is scary, scary stuff. Glad everyone is okay.
When I heard the news and what mall it was I thought of you immediately!
Glad everyone’s accounted for!!
Damn! That was their school?!? Man, am I glad they’re OK.
OH! MY! GOD! Wow…what a story. I hate when scary things intrude into our safe spaces. Give your kids an extra hug, and thanks for the update that they’re home safe and sound now.
Omigosh… I just read the article you linked to. The PROMENADE!? It happened at The PROMENADE. Crazy.
Oy! Hugs!!!! I haven’t heard the details on what happened yet. I hope you’re feeling better now that the kids are home. I think you should move anyway – near me. 🙂
yeah. guess who couldn’t take their car home today because it was part of the crime scene! yup. me. and there was a rumor flying rampant that my car was shot at and had bullet holes. thankfully, that was just a rumor. it definitely made for an interesting day at work. on a funny note, this boy in my class was waiting until recess to go to the bathroom when the school went into lockdown. five minutes before recess. he says, “can i please pee in a bottle?” the poor kid was squirming in his seat for about an hour before he was allowed to go.
Yikes! That’s scary stuff. Give your kids a bunch of great big hugs when they get home!
