So, was able to get out and go to the library AND the bookstore today, that was awesome like always! But it was coming home that held the most excitement. We turned the corner to pull into our street and BAM we were met with 20 cop cars and a police officer waving us to the side of the road, when we asked what was going on he said he couldn’t say so we asked if it was alright to at least get in to our house an he said it wasn’t a possibility.
We were then ushered down the road where we sat for an hour watching the cops, then it occurred to us that we all had to go to the friggin bathroom so we drove to the gas station, milled around for a bit, got some munchies for the kids and then hopped back in to the car. We drove back to our spot at the end of the road and noticed that cars were being let through on to our street so we drove down there, turned the corner and again BAM, this time we were met with a 25 SWAT guys and a SWAT mobile, all on our tiny lil street right out in front of our house.
Whatever they had been doing they had finished so we finally went in to the house but my mom stayed outside chatting up one of the SWAT guys, trying to get a grip on what had happened. As far as he could tell her there was someone at the end of the culdesac in one of the houses that was visiting some friends and after a bit “he would not leave so we were asked to remove him.” Also, apparently he had a few federal warrants out or something. *shrug*
No one was hurt at all but it freaked the hell out of my eldest nephew, youngest nephew was spared a freakout because he had fallen asleep before we got home the first time XD
It’ll be interesting to see what the news has to say about it tomorrow.
