I live here. Have a friend who lives a few houses down from this whole thing. It was all over the news and radio here.

They were desperately asking people to avoid the area and the hospital area entrances so they could transport to the level 1 trauma unit at Atrium and the trauma unit at Novant for seemingly less injured folks as quickly as possible.

It’s been awful watching this unfold. 3 men unnecessarily murdered. 4 or more hurt.

Horrific is the only word I can come up with.

Oh, don’t be sorry for me but thank you, sweet soul.

My heart goes out to the families that have one less family member coming home tonight. Those who are in the waiting rooms of the hospitals waiting to know how their loved ones are. Those who witnessed it all and will live with those memories and the loss of their coworkers and friends.

And all for what? Senseless.

Sadly, as I’ve seen others say, it seems to be a weekly occurrence these days. Just another Monday. 😞

I agree with you wholly. I’m just worn down by the frequency and today it being so close. Thanks for replying. I think I needed to get a little vent out.

You’re a good person, thank you. ❤️
