oh ok.. cuz at first I thought maybe it was a botched robbery or gang related. The Eaton Centre shooting just came to mind..

Oh God. Was anyone from here in that mall at the time?

Oh God. Was anyone from here in that mall at the time?

I hope not. I have lots of FB friends posting that they were there earlier or knew someone that was there during the shooting. So terrifying.

I have never been more happy to be absolutely broke..

I was so upset today that I almost went to that mall (Retail therapy is my favourite therapy) but realized I had no money before hitting the highway.

Thanks so much, flourish! Just wanted to be sure she was safe! I honestly don't know why I thought she may be from that county. Maybe something I thought from the Kyron thread!

*I just get so angry when something so senseless as this happens.

:seeya: I'm fine! I live closer to Eugene Oregon, which is about 2 hours south (via car) of the shooting.

My prayers go up to the victims, their families and friends. raying:
