My neighbor, buddy and co-worker and I were on assignment in Walnut this morning when we got the news of the shooting.
We looked up the street on my car navigation and saw where the incident occurred.
Phone calls to our loved ones were made.
My buddy called his Wife and she told him that's where her Mom currently is.
She goes there twice a week for elderly therapy and the like.
A county social services bus picks her up and she spends the day there.
The social care group did notify his Wife that the building (one of 3 there) she was in wasn't the building that the shooting took place and was and, as of this post, still is on lock-down.
My buddy and I packed up our gear and headed for home.
I was worried as I couldn't get ahold of my Wife when we heard about this so I wanted to leave also.
(I got ahold of her as we were leaving. She was at Walgreens.)
Coming home on the 10 freeway (we live east of San Bernardino) we passed by the Waterman exit off the 10. The off-ramp was PACKED!
So was the next exit (Tippecanoe). I guess the streets were blocked off and no one had anywhere to go.
This incident is occurring about 1/4 mile north of the 10 freeway. Some have reported that they are going to shut the 10 freeway down.
This area is where I shop (Costco, Best Buy, Home Depot, Office Depot, etc...)
The Outback Steakhouse (right behind this facility of the incident) is where we often go to eat as well as other restaurants within a stone throw away.
This entire area is where I drive through and sometimes work.
I get my coffee at Starbucks right around the corner.
This is where many of our friends work and frequent also.
This is where I LIVE.
This is why I am now-and will continue to be- on load and lock mode.
