I’m going to do something I try to avoid on here – post something serious. Steve called me a little while ago to say he heard from a friend of his who’s under lock down at St. John’s University. There was a gunman on campus and they got him with no shots fired but there’s another one they’re still searching for so the entire campus is under lock down.
I can’t tell you how many kids I know go there. Steve went there for 2 years before getting sent to D.C. All the local seminarians attend college there. So many kids from the neighborhood go there.
They’re not cutting into the local stations with anything so that’s a good sign. The whole “no news is good news” and all that. Hopefully they’ll get the other gunman & send everyone home.
One thing I found particularly funny in all this was the announcement that evening classes were canceled.
I hope everything turned out well. So much of that going on today it is so scary.
It’s a whole other thing when it involves people that you know. I do not understand any of this.
Everyone’s safe and home. It’s just a pretty scary thing to happen right here, so close by. And there are so many people I know who either go there or teach there. From what I do know, it was handled very well. As horrible as the VA thing was, it seems they did learn from it. I’m just grateful no one was hurt.
I’m glad I didn’t read this until it was over. Happy everyone is okay. Jer
I’m with Jer on this, so glad I didn’t read about it until it was resolved. Still, can’t help but think of Virginia Tech and, frankly, the fact that our kids are not as safe on our campuses as we might think.
I got a package in the mail today…..
It is raining for the first time in weeks and weeks and I had an awful urge to strip down in the rain and use the new soap, but since my driveway is pretty long and cars occasionally drive by I thought I would spare anyone who happened by.
