bullets in church.
it's absolutely confounding to me.
here are the details: i am fine, and was indeed at home in pajamas finishing my finals and playing eight1 with the boy. although new life is my home church, i am not there every sunday as i have been starting to go to a different church in the area. however, many of my friends, coworkers and boss go there, and all have been accounted for. some had left already, some were there when it happened - all are pretty shaken up. my mom's friend was one of the injured ones.
my mom works for the hospital where the victims were taken, and the story is that it was a father, 18 year old and 15 year old children who were shot, along with the 20 year old gunman, and the 18 year old died at the scene, and the 15 year old died last night at the hospital. but that is just rumor as of now.
i'm sure by the time this is read, you will have lots more information than this - but they think it is related to the shooting at the YWAM base in denver, and are currently treating it as a homicide investigation. the church is completely closed and roped off.
new life is not only the church i grew up in, but also one of our clients at work as well...so this is big.
bullets in church, bullets in schools...i really sometimes just can't wrap my mind around it. thanks for all the thoughts and prayers, truly.

so glad to hear you and your family are ok. much love to you miss sara.
wow.
seriously. holy.
what I found additionally ....well, confounding .... is that apparently the guy was taken down by a volunteer security guard. Since when did churches need armed security? Apparently since yesterday, but wow ....
just heard the story on NPR on my way home from work today. i'm glad you're ok.
