Thank you for your post, Elyse. I know your daughter went through hell for a while. My husband had lunch in Bastrop today then thankfully returned to work in Mer Rouge.
I first learned of this on FreeRepublic while I was at work in Richland Parish. This is just crazy - shootings like this in the middle of a peaceful small town. I will definitely be praying for the families of these officers and for the Bastrop community as you all deal with the aftermath of this tragic event.
Thank you, nana. I’m glad your husband wasn’t caught in the middle of it. I think my daughter is still in shock. She worked closely with the slain officers and also knows the paramedics that were shot. As you said, it’s a small town and there is a lot of shock and disbelief that something like this could happen there, but like any small town it just looks peaceful on the surface. No one, No where is safe from an incident like this.
