that was a bad day around here. My medic unit was not needed, but it was pretty horrible to listen to on the radio as it was going down. Couple that with the fact the 2 good friends of mine were the first-in PD units, the first-in medic lived just down the street and was concerned about his own families' safety, and my own mother lives less than a block away from that scene. I was able to get her on the cell and advised her to move indoors- as, at the time, the shooter was still loose on foot.
Unfortunately the boys had to take down their own dad (in self defense). It is a horrible situation, and was the second domestic violence killing w/in a week in this area. Needless to say a bad month back then.
