Prayer request:
Volunteer Firemen responded to a house and car fire in a town my family calls home... Webster new York... motto: where life is worth living... a place where my great grandfather had a hand in building the village, then called hosenfeld block....
These firemen were greeted with gunfire ... two died and two in the hospital..one was also a cop... four homes distroyed...four very damaged.... twelve families in shock and grieving for their loved ones and homes.... the day before Christmas
I know this area well... drove by it often. Family lives just a couple miles away.... there was a manhunt... so we all feared for our families and friends
The murderer was found dead.... suicide
What is happening to this country? I'm afraid for my life and always looking over my shoulder everywhere I go...malls, theatres, grocery stores,banks, schools... my own front yard.
Anyone else feel more vulnerable than ever these days?
Thank you for the prayers and good thoughts for these families!

We're praying too!
I noticed yesterday when we stopped by the mall how, almost paranoid I am. I kept looking over my shoulder, and I noticed I looked at almost everyone! What their facial expressions were, how they seemed. So sad.

My Sympathy to the first responders, families, community and you, affected by this horrific tragdey.
It's hard to wrap my brain around this evil committed...
How was he able to get the guns and amount of ammunition he had???
especially given his past record, of killing his Grandmother...

Not sure... all I know as that he lived with his sister, so maybe her... however he killed her too... his plan was to burn the whole neighborhood down..... in his "note" he said to do what he does the best... kill people.
Older fireman was a close friend of my cousins.... memorial was tonight!

Its been a tough morning... LT. Chip is being laid to rest today. He was a very close friend of my cousin. Hard not to be there. Amazing though that all hotels have been prepaid by strangers for traveling firefighters from around the country ...jetblue is flying them all for free to Ny... wegmans grocery store has donated ALL food for thousands of people who've come to pay respects ..... the outpouring from the community is AMAZING!!
