Sad news from Omaha

Just a quick note to everyone who has seen this report of the shootings in a mall in Omaha. Eight dead. Five more wounded. Fortunately, my family and I are okay. There was a nerve wracking hour where I couldn't get ahold of my wife, but it turned out she had a lesson to teach after she was done teaching classes for the day, so she was still at work and not out Christmas shopping like I was worrying. The wife of a friend of mine was right outside Von Maur, the store where the shootings occurred, when it happened. Scary stuff.

I've written in the past about working a second job at Radioshack several years back. That store is in the same mall that the shootings happened in. Scary stuff.

My deepest sympathies go out to the families who are missing loved ones tonight. Our thoughts are with you.
