I just went outside to see what the awful racket is. There are four police helicopters with searchlights going over this sleepy little town - something bad must have happened. Nothing is open at this hour (10:45 p.m.) except restaurants and bars. I can't find any reports on television, either.

Nothing on TV, and the helicopters are moving westward. They must be looking for somebody on foot, because they're lighting up yards. There was an attempted murder of a 14-year-old girl one town over to the east on Saturday, a little before 6 p.m. (she's in intensive care with multiple stab wounds). Maybe the guy struck again, or there was a robbery. So much for safe, small town life.

I am sure you have already done this - but lock all the doors and windows! I'd probably turn all the outside lights on to - just so whoever they were looking for wouldn't decide my yard is a good place to hide.... not sure if that is a good idea or not.

Stay safe!

Wow....not an everyday occurrence i am sure. Hope everything is ok, the odds of someone coming into your place (that is even if its someone on foot being chased, it might be a car) are not good at all, so do not worry too much.....

Still nothing on TV, and hubby is asleep, so I don't know what's on the radio (can't hear it). Don't worry - all the doors and windows are locked, and the outside lights are on. I actually kind of hope that the police are after the perp from Saturday, as long as the attack wasn't fatal. The description the girl gave was of an approximately 20-year-old, so maybe they'll catch a potential serial killer before there are dead victims. That sounds horrible, but it would be best to catch him ASAP, before he develops a successful routine.

Well you've taken all the right precautions Tricia - let's hope they catch whoever it is soon. Nice to know your strong, loyal protector is right there by your side keeping all dangers away
I'll bet hubby's snoring too.

I don't like it when the police helicopters hover over here - I do just what you have done. If you have a mobile or cordless phone I usually keep that with me - just in case!

Keep safe.

Wow, that's scary!! At least you're not alone in the house and you're smart to lock the doors. Good idea to keep the lights on outside. My mom had some guy run through her backyard once. Yep, she saw him jump the fence, run across, and back over the fence on the other side. Police were chasing him. She lives in a small enough town too; good area too! She never heard a word about the exact incident either, so don't count on hearing anything on the news. But if you do, let us know!!!

wow sounds just like my neighborhood 2 weekends ago. They had a murder in our apartment complex. The only good thing about it was the victim is the one who shot the bad guy instead of the other way around.
Our apartments are nice and normally very quiet. It was scary when all the police cars came in and the helicopters and we did not know what was going on.

Tricia, any word yet? I know it's late over there, but we would all feel better if we heard that they found and captured whoever they were looking for!
