Tragedy - update

Firstly, thanks to everyone that has called, emailed, posted, etc to see if we're okay. Indeed we are. We've been surprised as we've heard from people out-of-state and our Canadian friends.

The news changes hourly but the picture is becoming clearer.

The victims names are slowly being released. So far, we aren't aware of anyone we *know*. It still may be someone that we're aware of and/or encountered. One of the victims worked at the grocery store I used to go to in my hometown so perhaps once I see her picture, I'll remember her. To sound cold-hearted, we were relieved that the deputy is not one that we know.

As "Not Your Aunt Bea" said, it doesn't matter if we know anyone: it's still a tragedy. Everyone is subdued. It will take awhile for everyone to bounce. Our thoughts & prayers go out to the ten victims..eleven if you count the shooter's mom...and their families.
