To kick it off.

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

I’m so sorry. I was in a mass shooting, but a co-worker ran down our hall and told us to get out of the building. I escaped and never saw anything.

That was terrifying enough, and I can’t imagine what you went through.

Can I somehow help you tomorrow? I cannot leave my home now, watching mom and the kids. I wish I could help. Im so sorry. It’s not like you want to go get food from another store tonight. I hope someone can care for you tonight.

I’m used to guns so when I realized the gun was TOO CLOSE, it was too late. From that point forward we [about 8 point] were held at gunpoint.

Fellow Angelino here. I’ve been to that Trader Joe’s a few times, but avoid it as a rule due to its poorly spaced parking lot. Otherwise, I pass through Silver Lake all the time.

I don’t know you personally, but will be lifting you and the community up in prayer. There are some great churches in Atwater, Glendale, and the surrounding areas — so LOTS of prayers will be lifted up for you all.

What are the odds a Freeper was there. Wow.

God be with you. May He wrap You in His arms of comfort and bring you the peace that surpasses understanding.

I do have to get a ride back to Trader Joes to pick my car and keys ... but you are too faraway. I’m sure I can get a ride.

Are you going to tell us your story, or will that have to wait for a few days, until you feel more calmed?
Not that I’d blame you at all.

Glad you’re safe. The perp shot his grandmother a number of times so it’s fortunate that the heartless, evil creature didn’t kill more at the store.

Once I was on an airplane from Europe that was under a bomb threat. The one who threatened it with a note, was about 5 rows up from me. We landed in Bangor, Maine and after a thorough search the whole thing turned out to be a hoax. We passengers all got along well and it sort of turned into a party in a weird sort of way.

All of your reps need to ‘splain why this guy was loose.

On the record.

Do you have anyone who can come over and stay with you a few days? You shouldn’t be alone after that trauma.

Not sure how I am yet. I pondered death a lot ... but I wasn’t crazy scared.. I think I was/am in shock.

I sent texts to friends and they say, Oh sure ... :)

Just read the story in the news. It’s all over. bunnySlippers might be too traumatized.

I don’t know if going on FR would be the first thing on my mind after going through that, but I’m glad you’re safe.
