Has anyone here ever witnessed a shooting?

41. I'm sure I saw her once or twice in the elevator.....

....or maybe I passed her when walking to the bathroom. (We share a bathroom with their office.)

That just makes it all the more chilling. You see a person that you don't really know beyond a face, and you have no idea what type of turmoil his or her life may be in.

From the multiple-hand accounts that I've heard, apparently she wanted to end the marriage. That morning she came to work and told the receptionist that if her husband comes by to tell him that she wasn't in. He came by and somehow made it past the receptionist, into her private office, closed the door, shot her and then shot himself.

I remember the gun shots sound very close in succession to each other, lasting no more than two seconds. Unless there was a final shot I didn't hear, I can only guess he turned the gun on himself and pulled the trigger almost immediately after firing at her, almost as if not to give himself time to get off the adrenaline high.

What I want to know (but haven't yet found out) is if I actually passed the shooter while driving into the building. We have a multi-story parking garage under our building, with tight corners. When I was driving in, I had to stop at one of the corners to wait for a large SUV to turn the corner because I couldn't get buy. The driver appeared to be exiting the garage. I then went to park my car. About a minute later when walking towards the elevators, I saw that same SUV come back into the parking garage. I thought it odd that a car that appeared to be leaving was returning so soon this early in the morning. I do remember the driver was a male who looked to be around the shooter's age, but I can't say for sure--without identifying the car--that it was him. If it was him, that makes it even more creepy.
