OMG! I am SO scared right now!

He "held up" in the capitol building afterwards but my boss just called and said STAY INSIDE because he's running the streets now. Our building has an easement which is where our office is and it's a great hiding place

I am so scared right now. I also have to pee and our bathroom is down the hall. I''m too freaked out to leave the office because our building is "open" meaning anyone can roam freely in here.

Maddie&EthansMom replied: Be careful!! I would be scared, too.

My2Beauties replied: Oh no, please be careful!!! Thinking of you, let us know when you get home so we know you're safe

coasterqueen replied: Well still no word. Our friends at the capitol building said they have been told to barricade themselves in their offices LITERALLY and all state agencies around our office has been told to barricade themselves in too.

My boss just called in again and said we are not to leave to go home until he KNOWS the suspect has been caught because he IS roaming around somewhere here .

DansMom replied: OMG! That's terrifying!

MommyToAshley replied: OMG!!! How scary! I think I would rather pee my pants than chance going down the hall. Stay safe, and I hope they catch him soon!

Boys r us replied: OMG!! PLEASE STAY SAFE!!!!!!

coasterqueen replied: UGH! They say he's still wandering and lose. They've locked down all the local schools too since most are getting out right now and most kids walk home. I sure hope they catch him before my co-worker leaves at 4:20 (about an hour from now) or at least tell us it's safe to go outside. I've decided I'm leaving with her. I'm not staying in this office by myself. This building becomes abandoned at 4:30. No way I'm staying til 5!!!!!!!!!!!

TLCDad replied: Be careful. Thanks for keeping us posted.

coasterqueen replied:
I know I just found out on our local "capitol fax" that the guard at the capitol died

coasterqueen replied:
Yeah I just read both. These are SOOO conflicting from what we are actually getting here in town, lol. First there used to be metal detectors in the capitol..at least in May there was when the legislature was still in session.

Also one report is saying the guard is dead and the other is saying he's in surgery.

That and the people at the capitol here said he didn't flee right away that he "held up" in the capitol for a bit then ran down the main street in front of office on foot then fled by car.

Who knows!

coasterqueen replied: Boss called and told us to go home now. He's arranged a male escort to meet us at our office here in a few minutes to walk us the two blocks to our car. So I'm going home! Thanks everyone!
