Might be time to move

As I type this, my wife and I are in our apartment under lockdown. Apparently, there is a man on the loose carrying an AK-47 after having shot someone. There are no less than 8 police cars blocking the entrance which we can see from our bedroom window. Topping it off, we're in the midst of a thunderstorm that would mask any gunfire.

This is the second time in as many months that our complex has been in the news. Previously, we made headlines after an arsonist set an apartment on fire, damaging it and the one above it. Interestingly enough, it was the apartment occupied by my former seminary roommate and his wife, who he was also the Associate pastor who preceded me.


More details later...










8:08 PM - Apparently the suspect has been apprehended. 13 cops (some SWAT, others heavily armed) just poured out of the building across from us. They gathered briefly, then went elsewhere. The party seems to be breaking up and the mood is much less tense. I'll be checking out the news tonight to see what happened. This is all we know so far.
