Wouldn't those total body x-ray machines eliminate some of the doubt about what a woman is carrying underneath her clothing? If it saves lives, why not?

We were posting about the job of U.S. mail delivery persons the other day. Well this evening I went to a meeting at a friends house and while I was there a shooting went down in the neighborhood. We do not know where, and how the confrontation got started, but there was a car chase and the driver of the car that was being pursued lost control and ran into the yard of a house in the neighborhood. The only thing that stopped him from going through the house was three concrete front steps.

Once the pursued man's car wrecked and stopped the pursuer stepped out of his car with a machine gun and shot up the car and the man being pursued. It was unbelievable. It sounded as if we were in Iraq, the noise and the vibration from the gun. A young boy about age 10 that lived in the house where the car wrecked was outside and stated that a bullet went through one of their front windows and out one of their back windows.

A mail person (female) was in the process of delivering the mail. She is now a witness.

As I stated at first I don't know where the confrontation started but there are two crime scenes roped off. After further investigation (being noisy) I found out that there were a couple of other mail trucks in the area, one of which got shot up during the chase. The first crime scene had # placing counting over 40 bullet casings. The second crime scene (where the pursuee was shot) was not numbered but I saw multiple casings.

The female mail person was so visibly shaken. I think she must have smoked 10 cigarettes in 30 minutes.

I am going to try to catch my local news tonight. There were a couple of tv news crews at the scene.

Needless to say I am glad to be back home.

P.S.

I don't know if it was because of the size and type of gun that was used but there was a couple of law enforcement officers there that had jerseys on that had bomb squad logo on the backside.
