It's a sad day here with the shooting at Westroads mall. I live & work in that area & frequently go to the mall - I was there on Saturday. I'm just now waiting to see who has died and if I know any of them. Omaha may be a big town, but it is still small enough that you might know someone. In fact, one of the ladies interviewed (you can see her video on msn.com) I do know - her sons go to the same school as Tyler. She made it out ok, but it makes me wonder if I know more that were effected.
My dh even made the comment that if I had been at my old job, it would have been possible that I was there - since they were laying me off anyway, I was taking 2 hour lunches & I could have been shopping at Westroads at that time!
Please say some prayers for the dead, the survivors and all their family & friends - they'll need it this holiday season.
