There is presently a stand off a couple of blocks away from our house. An ex-employee of mine lives 2 houses down from where it is. D16 and ex-employee have been messaging back and forth for the past 4 hours. She is 20 years old. She locked herself in her room but can hear the conversation between the police and the man. They have 2 helicopters, the swat team and many police officers with K9s.

We are all worried. D16 asked me if she could tell her father. I said: " of course" ( he' s a police sergeant ). She texted: " it is so scary.. they have the swat team and the dogs.

His reply: LOL

That' s it.. ????? That was the end of the texting session. wow!

I can hear D16 and D14 upstairs mimicking him: sarcastic voices..
" I love you so much.. I don' t want anything to happen to you "

This is so sad..

He makes my head spin!!
