This is the second time in 8 months that tragedy things happened to this town.
Last August, a gun man killed several people before he got shot and terminated. One police officer killed just 500 meters away from where I work.
Last Monday around 9:45 AM, I was on the way to work when I noticed 6 state-police cars passed my car in a very high speed. I told myself, It could be an accident on highway I-81N.
Around 10:15 AM, I took the exit 188B on highway I-81N to go to my work place, I saw 1 more state-police car took the same exit with me. I met another police car right after I got off the exit. We got two bomb threat last week so I asked myself, "is there a bomb threat today or actually a bomb?".
I reached Smart Road 5 minutes after that and the road was almost empty. There were 2 ambulance vehicles and 2 more police cars passed me after I went on Smart Road. I sensed something wrong.
I parked my car, took my book bag and .... could not open the door of the building of my company. It instantly reminded me about the incident in last August. I walked around the building to get to the other door. A co-worker saw me and open the door for me, that was when I found out about the shooting. At that time, there was only one dead and one wounded in the report. In one hour after that, the updated report came out with 32 victims and the killer.
My co-worker's husband was a professor that was shot in his class-room. He made it out of it with 2 bullets, 1 one his head and one on his arm. He is alright now.
By the time I am writing these lines, President Bush had just completed his speech. We share our deepest sympathies to families of unlucky people who were happen to be at a wrong place and at a wrong time.
