My sis-in-law lived a 1/4 mile from the bus driver murder.

We were living at the time within a 1/2 hour of one of the shootings. The schools started looking for people to guard the doors at the schools. I was ready willing and able. My kids were in 3 different schools at the time.
We have sinced moved back to Buffalo..

My relatives still live in VA and MD. They were afraid to go to the store, pump gas, do any of the normal things people do in everyday life when the snipers were on their rampage. It took them a while before normalcy returned.

My aunt is the victim-witness director for the Fairfax Co. PD; my brother-in-law and family are in Montgomery Co.; we had lots of friends in the Metro area from when we lived up there.

We were on pins and needles throughout this entire mess.
