They are shooting in my neighborhood...almost...

So, as I drove in to the dullest training session in the history of naps, I heard on the radio that Big Bend Ave was closed off. Some asshat started shooting at first responders to a report of a burning car. One is dead. Now, a house is burning. It's on Yahoo's national news right now. The hospital in the story, St. Mary's, is in between my apartment and the grocery store, and a family member works there. I pass the place routinely during walks. That 7-11 is skeezy and scary. If everything happened within sight of that store, I know exactly where it is. (I hope the White Castle is OK.) It's just too far to walk to (not that they need gawkers). Also, it's like totally hot today and I would much rather have my feet removed than go outside.

Oh, shit. My brother and sister work right there. (They're both pretty new there.) They probably weren't able to get to work. I'll call.
