The police helicopters were overhead all afternoon as the police did a door to door search. I've learned on days like this to listen to the police scanner on my computer when there's danger nearby. We live near a large heavily wooded park which attracts "fleeing felons". The police were working really hard to get a grip on the shootings &amp; ultimately did. Our community is very sad. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-violence-in-seattle#post-633455 Thu, 31 May 2012 13:06:57 +0000 Jjsloane 633455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so glad to hear our community Seattlites are safe. I know all too well how frightening it can be. I lived through the DC Sniper and I was at the Home Depot the day before one woman was killed there (so must have been when they were scoping it out). People were afraid to gas their vehicles. Utter insanity.<br /> Hugs and well wishes for continued safety for you all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-violence-in-seattle#post-633360 Thu, 31 May 2012 06:31:28 +0000 RandomThoughts (Andrea) 633360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This happened more or less in my business' neighborhood. Soon as I heard we locked the doors and hid out. It's very sad people feel driven to such things. Well wishes to the families of the victims. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-violence-in-seattle#post-633336 Thu, 31 May 2012 05:32:03 +0000 Sheila 633336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is a very somber, sad night here in Seattle. Apparently one mentally ill shooter is responsible for all of this tragic activity. God help us all...innocent citizens, going about their lives, gunned down in seconds. Don't have a cure, but pray that somehow our society can come to our senses and find solutions to this madness. So sad for the families who have lost loved ones today...including the family of the shooter who ended his own life as he saw the police closing in on him. Everyone loses in this scenario... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-violence-in-seattle#post-633326 Thu, 31 May 2012 04:44:21 +0000 AJ 633326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no! Thank goodness they have the shooter in custody! </p> <p>A good reminder to hug and kiss all your loved ones tonight. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-violence-in-seattle#post-633323 Thu, 31 May 2012 04:38:45 +0000 christieanne 633323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Horrible news today (and from the weekend too apparently?) and I was once again homesick for Olympia as I chatted via facebook with my cousins and friends up there. Tragic and senseless violence that seems worse (but of course it isn't) in such a typically quiet area. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-violence-in-seattle#post-633265 Thu, 31 May 2012 03:07:06 +0000 annagybe 633265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Update, the shooter is alive and being treated. I got this from the news, no HIPPAA violation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-violence-in-seattle#post-633251 Thu, 31 May 2012 02:58:42 +0000 Ana 633251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I wonder what's going on that violence has increased recently? Please stay safe, Seattlelites. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-violence-in-seattle#post-633240 Thu, 31 May 2012 02:50:43 +0000 Kari 633240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It makes me so sick. All of this happening within the last month! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-violence-in-seattle#post-633173 Thu, 31 May 2012 01:34:45 +0000 Amy 633173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is very upsetting. Our crime rate has gone up dramatically this year.<br /> My kids' school wouldn't let the kids outside for recess and moved any classes regularly in portables into the main building to cut down on traffic outside the school.</p> <p>This kind of caution is good, but not the way I want to live. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-violence-in-seattle#post-633167 Thu, 31 May 2012 01:30:51 +0000 Deborah 633167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This hadn't made news here when I left for work, must check on line. Glad to hear it's over tho. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-violence-in-seattle#post-633163 Thu, 31 May 2012 01:29:00 +0000 Sveta 633163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Parsley, I won't - I would be the same if my kid was there: very natural thing to do for a mother. I am happy to hear she is alright! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-violence-in-seattle#post-633156 Thu, 31 May 2012 01:21:21 +0000 Parsley 633156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I guess the crisis is over- apparently the shooter took his own life.</p> <p>I kind of freaked out when I first heard about this because it was near the University where my daughter is a grad student. (she's fine). Call me a worrywart mom... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-violence-in-seattle#post-633130 Thu, 31 May 2012 00:56:27 +0000 Sveta 633130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is so scary! I also hope that everybody is alright in Seattle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-violence-in-seattle#post-633128 Thu, 31 May 2012 00:53:59 +0000 morethanbeige 633128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I heard this too.

Seattle is having a very bad year for gun violence. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-violence-in-seattle#post-633124 Thu, 31 May 2012 00:51:30 +0000 Parsley 633124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just heard about the shootings there. I hope all of you Seattle YLFers are staying in and safe right now! </p>
