a double murder last night. One of the victims was a friend of her and her boyfriend.
They and a few friends went out for a couple of drinks, when my granddaughter got off work, to a sports bar/restaurant that we all frequent.
There was an argument over a game of pool. A 22yr(that none of the regulars knew)was asked to leave. When the others were leaving he shot 2 men, one being amy granddaughter's friend.
The shooter, 22yo, was still there in his car when police arrived.
Her friend, 30yo, died on the scene and the other victim, 22yo, died on the way to the hospital.
She said her friend was not involved with the argument over pool.
They were held until 3:00am, as their car was in the taped off area and they were witnesses.
They are absolutely traumatized.

Oh no! The trauma for her makes me nearly weep. It is such a shock to the system and so hard to get off your mind for many years.
I witness a shooting, but not nearly as close quarters as your granddaughter nor did I personally know the victims, and it would flash up on me at times for years afterwards. I can only imagine how it will be for her. My thoughts are with you and I hope comfort for her.

How horrible for them and everyone else involved.  I worry about something like this happening with my kids these days as well. We shouldn't have to worry so much about us or our kids being shot over even small conflicts in life. |

How horrible.......
I can't even imagine. Maybe she should get some meds to help her sleep. That way she will fall asleep.
