Shots Fired At Dawson College.
I’ve been pacing since I heard at one o’clock. Someone very special to me has to have been evacuated from that area, and I’m praying as hard as I can for her and for everyone else. It’s the not knowing that has me in knots, and the sympathy I feel for every parent who’s trying to locate their child right now.
I’m not going to get any writing done today now. I might as well go make myself a cup of cocoa and curl up under the afghan, maybe try to do some book-based research instead.
Later: She’s fine. And one gunman’s been neutralised. Let’s hope that’s all there is.
I freaked out a little when I heard a radio interview with the head of the daycare at Dawson. Even though the reporter said right away that all the kids were safe and were never in the line of fire, I had chills on the drive to pick up Ben from his daycare.
