Um...SCARY!!!

Dear DC,

I have never felt scared, threatened or unsafe while living here. HOWEVER, an incident this morning has changed that.

About 8:45 this morning about one and a half blocks from our place (in the wrong direction) a woman was shot and killed. This is right across the street from Kyle and my favorite fast food place which we frequent often. This is OUR neighborhood.

And here's the kicker; the shooter is still on the loose. That and the woman had four children who are now without a mother.

We were driving out of town about 10am this morning to visit Annapolis on our day off and the whole street just one block aware from us was shut down and roped off with yellow police tape. We knew something was seriously wrong....

So should I be getting mace? A gun? Probably not, usually the people involved in this type of violence are not innocent bystanders. Don't worry mom! (I think she'll probably still worry.)

With Concerned Love,

Julia
