This is local to me. My son is an IRC client. I am praying his case manager is safe. And about a mile from me is the swat team searching the suspects brothers house.
This took place across from IRC in the conference room. IRC rents it out. Today the department of public health was having their Christmas party.
My dh's district and my kids went on lock down.
This was a very planned event.
I am very upset, scared, hurt, anxious. Toooo close to home.
Oh and my friends sister was at the party. She was using the restroom when the shooters entered. The coworker she was sitting next to was shot and killed.
As she was being escorted out by SBSO she saw dead bodies and injuried friends.
Enough with the we need more guns, we need less guns shit.
Just keep all those affected in your thoughts and prayers. They witnessed horrible acts today. That is what matters. The lives lost. Those who were there. Those who wont go home. Those who will.never be the saklme again after going through this...

This was devastating. We have a son with a disability and it broke my heart for what took place. I'm so sorry for all that you're going through.

Did your source, your friend's sister give any reason this may have happened? I read somewhere 'disgruntled worker' but it seems to me, the way they were dressed, the weapons used, that it may have been very planned-out, especially since it wasn't just this one guy (disgruntled worker) carrying it out.
I'm glad your friend's sister is safe. That trip to the bathroom may very well have saved her life.

It's traumatic for all of us to hear about these kind of events. I can't imagine how much more frightening it is to be so close. I'm glad your family is safe. You all must be very shaken.

A large group hug from us to you. It's horrible enough when these are strangers ... but when the names are people in your photos, I just can't fathom.

You're feeling exactly what I and my community felt October 1st, here in Roseburg and the UCC shooting. Not a 'club' I'm exactly excited to be in, sadly. And yes, when three of the eleven are very close - it makes me ill, literally. Prayers and hugs to you!  ? (This was a green heart from my iPhone for UCC) |

I just read that the male suspect had been at the party, left upset, and came back with the female and weapons... I'm not sure how accurate it all is since it's still early in the whole thing... But my first thought was how betrayed his coworkers must feel - if that's the word... The pain of it coming from someone you know...
It's all horrible... I'm Canadian and don't understand all the facets of gun control in America, but it breaks our hearts to see so much unnecessary loss...

The media also said that they left a 6 month old with her grandmother. They told the grandmother they had a dr.'s appt. They didn't...they return and building and began shooting. |

I'm so sorry. I hope your son's caseworker is okay. {{{hugs}}}
I know how horrific you feel. I knew so many people at the Boston Marathon when the bombs went off. Lots of college students out that day, many of my DD's friends.

I had heard about the baby and wondered where she was..... I can't fathom a mom leaving her baby to do this. Honestly. What evil and hatred must have existed to plan and actually follow through with this. |

I am sorry. Have you heard news about your sons case worker? Thankfully all IRC workers are safe and accounted for. The feeling is this is more than an angry worker. Their brothers house had received packages for about 4 weeks every day. They would be in the garage late at night. The house had explosives of all kinds. Other explosives were found off site as well. And the shooters wore gopro cameras. They are still doing a big search of the property and some vehicles in my town. Now the question is where are the others from that house in my town... |

But I think he was talking about inside the facility. So its still up in the air if the shooters did or did not have go pros on. There was no feed in the building. There is in the main building though and around the center outside. |

So horrible, Lorieann I"m so sorry your community is going through this.
I'm so glad those you were worried about were safe, my gosh the twist of fate that your friend got up to use the restroom.
I watched a report of a man who knows the neighbor of the house they raided after. Seems they were all suspicious of the all the activity going on around the house, lots of men, middle of the night, lots of packages being delivered. Yet, they were afraid to report anything because of their Middle Eastern descent. Political correctness stopped them from doing so.
You have mine...your community will never be the same after this. At least not for a long time. Lives were shattered, families broken.I'm so sorry this happened to you all. <hugs>

I find it sad that there are several other threads going since yesterday with the usual suspects, saying the meanest, hateful things to each other over this gun issue, one upping, sanctimonious, and NOT A ONE of them has come here to your thread to offer sympathy or support. Not a one. |

I haven't seen this or read this yet but I'm off to find the article or interview. I am so very sorry that you are experiencing this! I'm glad your sons Case Worker is okay and everyone that he's used to in the office. Such an awful event I just can't even fathom how this happened. And to leave your 6 month old baby behind... there are no words... |
