This morning, my center went on lockdown because of a shooting in the neighborhood. We had no other information so naturally we were scared. The crime scene is directly behind the center. So close that we can look out our window into theirs. As the morning went on, we found out it was a murder-suicide. A family, mom, dad and 2 kids. The kids were about 3 and 1 yrs old. There were no dry eyes today. Around 2 pm, we learned it was a former family of my center and that they had been dead for possibly 2 days. What really crushed me was that I posted about this family on a "Crazy Request" thread. I feel horrible about this. This is the second time something like this has happened to a former family. The world is just crazy. Can somebody stop it so I can get off.

((hugs)) how tragic
The world really is crazy. I was just posting elsewhere about the world being crazy. It really is, it's scary and unimaginably insane. (But I wouldn't feel bad posting about them on a Crazy Request thread; that's totally separate from what happened now. Life is life)Hee hee! Look, I have a signature!

That's horrible. So terribly sad. I don't ever remember hearing about things like that happening this often. We've had a couple murder-suicides in our small town, no kids involved, thank God, but it's so tragic and senseless.
I'll be thinking of that poor mom who found them, she must be beyond devastated.
