Swat Teams

I got home from work to find our street blocked off from both directions and police with rifles everywhere, including at my truck window when I tried to come down the street.

Some people outside on another street told me there was a shooting and not too many other details. I'm thinking, I have to pee and this has been blocked off for over 2 hrs. already and besides my dog is probably going wild with all the lights and sirens. I need to get home...........so I circle around, park on a side street and walk across our street in front of TV crews and police like I belong here. Walked down a path to the woods behind our TH and came in the back gate. Nobody stopped me nor did I see anybody in the woods.

I peed and fed the dog and turned on the TV only to find out that there had been several policemen shot, one died and the one suspect lives on the street behind the woods in back of us, where I had just walked. I'm really surprised they weren't patroling the woods. There were helicopters, police cars, swat teams, armored trucks, etc. in front of the house but nothing in the back. Can't figure that one out.

Bet I will lock the door tomorrow when I leave for work!!!!!

Speaking of work------things went really well today and it looks like it will be a full 4 days work, if not into the fifth. And tonight I scheduled a job for Monday the 15th so I won't be going to Pap's until Tuesday for the rest of the week. My brother and his family are coming in from Seattle for the week and to attend our nieces' wedding on the 20th. We always have such good visits and I hate to miss a day with them but work is work. Won't take anymore for the week though.

Also will not be leaving the door open for fresh air tonight......
