We are okay!

Post by LadeeeDuke » Fri Jul 08, 2016 9:01 pm

Hello guys and gals, several have expressed to me their concern for us since we live in the Dallas, TX area. We are okay.
For those that do not know, we had a peaceful protest in downtown Dallas that was concluding it's march when a sniper started shooting police officers from a roof top. The police officers were there to protect and keep the peace for the protest. As a result, 5 officers have died, 11 total were shot/injured, and 2 bystanders were also caught in the crossfire/shot. After many hours of a standoff, the sniper was taken out via a bomb strapped to a robot when he refused to negotiate and kept shooting and making bomb threats. This a devastating day for all, no matter what your political views. It's heartbreaking and beyond comprehension.
I am a bit shaken and can't help to be overwhelmed given that I know too well the fear of being a child waiting for your sheriff deputy/fireman father to make it home from a call and a shooting. I share all of this not to delve into the politics of the matters, but to encourage you to keep us in your thoughts and to thank you for your inquiries. We have had several people that I knew through my work as a nurse affected by this shooting. It's a great loss and heartbreaking that anyone would do this to another human being. I guess all I can keep thinking is, "lives matter". Thank you guys for your concerns and your friendships.

I have three photographer buddies with The Dallas Morning News who were right in the middle of it when the shooting started. Crazy stuff.

Our hearts are with those in Dallas right now. Such a tragedy...senseless violence is painful.

Glad you are okay, my friend. <3
