There was a shooting down
on the corner. From eleven pm last night
through seconds ago, the street was closed.
We both woke up enough to hear all the sirens but were surprised by the
police presence this morning. The swat
team was out. Police cars everywhere,
and they were using flash bangs to roust the tenants. Lots of TV coverage.
We went to the gym the
long way. Even the Y had their TV on.
We never have a shooting
here in white-bread land.
It must be scary to wake to such noises. I too am grateful you weren't hurt.
ReplyDeleteWhite bread land is a new phrase to me. It works. Hopefully all will soon be settled.
ReplyDeleteMy sister Sudie had Lymphedema in her right arm; developed after surgery for stage 4 breast cancer. My cousin Dossie passed away last night of lung cancer and my sister Barbara is dying tonight from Parkinson's. Life is hard at times.
ReplyDeleteYou mean "lose," I assume.
ReplyDeleteYes, there are many tragedies, always.
Oh no, not Lymphedema. That's a tough one. We have car crashes around here in our very mixed neighborhood.
