We had two active shooter situations today, unrelated, close to my place of work.

One closed a highway in front of the clinic where I work and the other was at a Wal-mart, in Broomfield, a few miles away. Thankfully, no one was hurt in either. Just another day in America. In between those two alerts, the power went off in the clinic. Nerve-wracking day. I need a drink.

1. Jeez Louise.

Nerve wracking is right. I am glad you and your co-workers are safe.

2. Remember in the 80's when the term was Going Postal? That needs to change to Going Walmart.

3. That's the truth!

The one here today at Wal-mart was a couple having a spat and simply started shooting at each other! In the store! We are an open-carry state, so I guess you can simply walk in a Wal-mart, pull out your weapon when you disagree on which paper towels to buy.

4. Weird. I coulda sworn my Senator said more guns would reduce shootings. Who knew?

eta I'm sorry this happened so close to you.

5. Truly, it could happen to anyone, anyplace.

It's our new reality, our new normal.
