Yikes.

I was following the story at work, and when I tuned out, it seemed under control.

Just found out the guy killed eight people.

I was born in Omaha; my father is buried there; many relatives are there as well.  It’s why Omaha is on my "Live Webcam" stream on the righthand column.

Mom reports all the rels are okay.  My Aunt Mary was driving by the mall as was happening and saw the police cars.  Not that I was worried — it’s a big little town (at least how I remember it).

Terrible news though.
