Some weekends it's just safer to stay in.

So, last night, we decided it would be fun to take Cooper to Rusch Park for his evening walk. As we got there, however, there was a mini SUV moving slowly in the parking lot ahead of us, then all of a sudden, a man appears out of nowhere and points a gun in the SUV's driver's side window. By the time I was able to see that the man with the gun was wearing a vest that said "POLICE," backup had arrived and a police car passed us on the right and stopped next to the SUV. We backed out of the parking lot slowly, and changed our plans.

Today, coming back from the dog park, I see all sorts of news vans and police cars on the street that runs behind (and leads into) our housing complex. Seems there was an incident involving gunfire and two officers were shot while attempting to question someone who had been causing a disturbance.

I'm really not sure if I want to leave the house again this weekend at this rate.
