Oh fuck. What is going on? *hugs*

Meeep!

Are you alright? Will you have to leave the house? What's going on?

[jacqui_hw]

We haven't been evacuated so I think we're fine. From the looks of things it's winding down now but you never know. My neighbour and some people on the news site said there was a man on the bridge threatening to blow it up. I don't know exactly what's going on.

[jacqui_hw]

Yes I'm fine. My neighbour and some people on the news site said there was a man on the bridge threatening to blow it up, but I'm not certain. There were a few loud bangs and now they seem to be dispersing.

Eeek! *HUGS* Be safe, dear...think he's gonna try to jump?

[jacqui_hw]

Comments of the news page say he was shot with two rubber bullets. Again I don't know if that's true but there were loud cracks and then later a bigger bang but nothing huge so who knows what's actually happening.

WOW...what a thing to happen right outside your house! Glad you're safe! *HUGS*
