Tom Brady is leaving the Patriots.  It truly is the apocalypses.

So, the story apparently is some guy was walking north on the street randomly shooting in the air.  He stopped to reload according to one fellow who called the police.  That is why they went tearing by around 8 AM.  There were still people out walking at the time not looking concerned.  They got a lot of police here in a hurry and the street is closed now for about 6 blocks.  One officer was wounded apparently.

At the same time, construction guys were here to grind off a side street, so it was a confusing situation.

About an hour ago, ten or so police cars roared by outside, variously stopping and going, and a large flatbed truck with some item of equipment on it parked just outside, along with some other construction gear.  The street is still close, we had no warning.  I can't get out any other way except by going the wrong way on a one way.

It's still shut and the large piece of equipment is off the flatbed, but I can't see it anywhere.  It looks like maybe they are grinding off the pavement, maybe, but we usually get a warning about that.  Nothing I can find on line.  I see folks walking by so it isn't some public safety issue.  I see a line of dump trucks south of me waiting.

I guess I'm stuck here unless I walk, which I can do of course.
A. Stay safe.
B. That park near your place is always nice. Hopefully not too crowded.

The park can get a bit crowded if there are events, or on nice weekend days.  Right now there are few people out that I can see, some, but it's overcast and a bit chilly.

This is the first crime event near us since we moved here.  I was confused because the police cars were going north bound in a hurry and in some confusion, and the initial reports had the incident south of us.  I gather the shooter walked north right by our place.  I could easily have been outside.  He was said to be shooting in the air.

two observations to share here:

this virus has something to do with attacking people with good teeth.  WV is the safest place to be. 

the Tennessee Vols would have secured an invitation and won the NCAAB tournament this season had it not been cancelled.  IF this extends into football season, ditto.

The stock market is ... hilarious, in an unfunny way, but funnier today than yesterday.

was the officer injured by a bullet?  Going up in the air or falling back to the ground (if shooting into the air)

or was he possibly injured by other means?

frickin crime ridden big cities

criminal's actions probably brought on by the stress and hysteria of the virus, perhaps he couldn't find toilet paper

Ehh, sounds like a crazy person with a firearm. They have those in the country too, granted, there's less density so less things for a bullet to potentially hit.
