Super scary as we just ran that area this morning with our group from Runners Lane. Too close for comfort.
I live in the neighborhood, I’d like to know what happened please.
I’m so sorry to the family that has lost their loved one. My heart is breaking for you. Sending so many thoughts and prayers. If I could take away the pain that has now become a part of your life I would. So, so sorry! ????????????????????????????????
Where’s the update? 21 hours and zero updates, this doesn’t speak well for the priorities of our local media.
Need more updates on this story. It is very odd that the story did not make CBS2, NBC4, etc. Also odd no updates in several days.
