We heard about it on an internet police scanner after a friend of my daughter's who had just left our house to drive home to Green Bay called us and said Troopers were tearing down 41 full speed with lights on toward Appleton. When we heard the number of people shot, we assumed it was drug related.

What a horrible shock when we found out the truth. It goes to show something like this can happen anywhere.
