A.V.
We have had weird situations locally. Not to that extent, exactly, though. Someone took over the Discovery Communications building, for example. Or like B mentioned, the snipers who were initially thought to be in a white van.
DH told me this AM that the suspects are from Chechnya. Does anyone remember the female bombers from about 10 or so years back? I do, because I was profiled at the airport and had my baggage searched (which I was fine with because every other woman that fit that description was searched, too). I just read that the brothers came to the US about 10 years ago, which would be interesting timing re: women bombers.
I'm going to wait for things to settle down, as there's just too much noise right now. It's just a sad thing all around. Stay safe!
