To kick it off.

Anyone know what it feels like to be told you will be shot one by one?

Absolutely. I prayed as I often do.

I think I was in shock the whole time. I held hands with one of the young males working at TJs .... but I never panicked.

God in the midst of you two beautiful souls.

Glad to see you’re safe. Thank God. Prayers up for healing from the trauma.

Things like this remind me of that lyric “And I’m telling you son, Well, it ain’t no fun. Staring straight down a forty-four”

As a youth had a gun pointed at my face by a railroad cop (we were horsing around by the train trestle, he thought we were up to something). I can still remember what the inside of that gun barrel looked like.

Wow. What an experience. So happy you are ok. Very scary and understandable you moved elsewhere at some point.

Imagine this.

You’re on a blanket on the beach with shade over you on a perfectly calm day. You hear the waves. They’re smaller than usual and more quiet. You hear the seagulls.

And that’s all. Sleep. Tell us all about it tomorrow. :-)

I just looked at my other phone and my friends who live near there sent me some pics titled “meanwhile in Los Feliz” with pics of the sign with Trader Joe’s and Magpies and pics of a pretty skinny latino girl being interviewed and pointing at something and a pic of the busted up black car.....at 8:21 tonight

I had wondered what the title meant

I told them I knew online at free Republic the lady hostage released first

And I’m happy of that..

Truly

Wow! Thank God that you made it out alive.

You will definitely be in my thoughts and prayers tonight. I can’t even imagine.

Hand gun. He ran into the store shooting. I had finished paying and was about to turn the cart to go to the parking lot. I heard between 2 to 4 shots REALLY REALLY close to me. I dropped to the floor.

I sent a text but someone [who] walked through and said, “anyone seen on a phone will be shot”.

Thank you. I will never forget it.

The paramedics gave me two EKGs when I got out ... but my heart is still wobbly. Might to to the hospital tomorrow.

Also the pain of witnessing the shooting can’t be easy either. Did you observe the shooting of the employee? Or were you spared this final agony? Just heart breaking. Real time. My heart really goes to you at this hour BunnySlippers and in the days and weeks coming.

Oh, by the way, we've both been on this site since 2000; I'm on and off of here throughout the day (every day), but don't post often due to working about 60 hrs/week.

We've corresponded before many times...feel like I've know you for years. Just know that we are thinking of you:)

Why is jury duty a bad thing? I've been there and it was an honor. I am glad I was chosen instead of some wet noodle lib.

Well, I was released shortly before the end of the ordeal. I believe she was shot when he was trying to get out ... or something.

"I sent a text but someone [who] walked through and said, 'anyone seen on a phone will be shot'."

Yep, that's pretty close! I'm glad that you're safe now. Peace and quiet are nice. I prefer soft music nowadays. Ah...here's a good Internet music site, and its not all that far from you.

You might like Groove Salad.

"A nicely chilled plate of ambient/downtempo beats and grooves."
https://somafm.com/groovesalad/

Or you might like the "Lush" channel there. It's nice.

"Sensuous and mellow vocals, mostly female, with an electronic influence."
