I'm just sick...I heard a gun shot...
This is a nice clean cut young man. Has a gun permit. He just lost his job, I don't know if it was due to something he did, or cutbacks. He is intoxicated.
Its 1:30 now...I'm in the office waiting.
Its now 3 am...two very loud gun shots went off. Lights are flashing. They are now asking him to answer his phone so they can talk to him.
3:15 another loud shot...silence
3"30. lights are on in the unit...canine dog is barking and barking and barking.
4:00 The police are in the unit...The city Fire Department rolls in...and they are taking him out on stretcher an his is alive...Thank goodness!!!! There must be 20 officers. My husband just went out to see if anyone would talk to him
...They let him go in the unit with them. Dean just got back. The police shot out he sliding glass door and let the dog in...the dog is what saved the kid.
It's over and I'm really tired..

Wow! We never know from one minute to the next, what is ahead. So thankful that you are okay, and the young man lived. There must be something more ahead for him. By you sharing this, made me appreciate each of my peaceful moments today.
oh how scary,you just never know what is around the corner,but glad everyone is okay and the young guy is okay
I'm so glad you're okay. I think, unfortunately, we might be seeing more of this as things worsen.
Wow, I had no idea you lead such an exciting life! Glad you are okay and that things were resolved without a death!
Try to get a little extra rest today...sounds like you could use it!
Oh my goodness! Sounds very scary. Luckily it is over.

Yikes Little Miss,
Oh My Goodness is right!!! The sad thing is as things get worse many people begin thinking that suicide is the only answer :( This certainly looks like an attempt of "suicide by cop" Hopefully this young guy will receive the help that he needs.
Take care I'll keep you in my thoughts today :)

First, I am glad you are safe and second - Drama isn't the word for it. I too am an apartment manager for the past ten years - there is never a normal day !!! I have enjoyed my visit to your beautiful blog.
Whoa...that is so scary! Glad you are alright. Glad the young man is alright. Thank God for dogs.
Smiles, Karen
That's scary and sad and SCARY! Glad it's OVER!
OMG, how terrifying to have the police knocking on your door to discover you have a tenant barricaded inside! I think I'd have a heart attack! I'm happy to hear it turned out well. ☺
This must have been very scary for everybody to say the least. You never know when somebody is going through and might "crack".
Goodness, Laurie! Hope all is well & you can catch up on some sleep tonight!

Oh Laurie, what a terrible frightening morning for everyone! I'm so glad it ended more or less peacefully and that the young man is okay and all of you and all your tenants are okay.
hugs

Oh my goodness, Laurie, I'm so sorry you had to deal with something like this. My heart feels for the young man - he must have been so overcome by his circumstances. Thankfully he is alive. Maybe some good will come to him and he will be OK. ~Adrienne~
Laurie, It's like what you see on the news...we never think it's going to knock on our door! Oh my! I guess this won't be "over" for awhile - there must be things you have to do as manager. Hopefully, they can get this young man some help. So sad.

Oh my goodness how scary for you and your family. I'm glad the young man is ok physically.. now if he can mentally get back on track.. I'll be saying prayers for him.. hugs ~lynne~
OMG!! What the heck is wrong with people? I'm glad everyone is ok. That kind of stuff is only supposed to happen in the movies.
Yikes! Very scary. I had something similar happen when I lived in Toronto many years ago. My husband and I bought a semi-detached home to renovate and flip in an area in "transition." My husband and I woke up one night to the sound of bullhorns and our bedroom was completely lit up with flood lights. We peeked out and saw our home (and neighbors side of the duplex) was completely surrounded. You jump out of bed quickly that is for sure!
I agree the dog saved him. No nonsense police dogs tend to solve problems quickly. Hope he was wearing a vest too! Karen
