I live in Austin, but closer to one of the smaller towns on the outskirts of the town. It is amazing when you hear on the news something as drastic as a carjacking, shooting, and jumping into another vehicle to leave a scene has taken on such dramatic effects -- all within 4 miles of where I live. The woman is in critical condition.
Nothing ever happens in this area of town... and never in the areas that I would be frequently on a daily basis....
OMG - I sit here in a bit of shock after seeing it on the news. I know that the world isn't as safe a place as it had been in the past...
I do hope that the world can take a grip on itself and make it a more peaceful world for everyone everywhere....
Hopefully, it can become a reality and won't be merely a hazy dream....
