Sometimes crap happens to people who were just unlucky enough to be standing around.

Several years ago a psychotic woman walked into my oldest daughter's office looking for a 'blue-eyed blonde who'd stolen her boyfriend'. She shot the first blue-eyed blond woman she saw in the face, instantly killing her. My daughter, also a blue-eyed blonde, was standing about 20 ft. away. The shooter only got a couple of steps toward her when a young male employee tackled her and got the gun away.

Fortunately, a swat team arrived immediately. The shooter had shot and injured two security guards in a TV station on the first floor and wandered around on the second floor before climbing the stairs to the fourth floor where my daughter worked......so the police were already on it.

Interestingly no one in the TV station, including the security personnel, had the presence of mind to call the offices on the other floors with a warning. In fact, the only person who acted quickly and decisively was the young male employee and it was his FIRST DAY on the job!

AT&T Wireless later made him employee of the year.

The whole thing was very bizarre and very sad.
