Just found out my SIL was in building 197, she hid under her desk, they got her out and she's fine. My heart breaks for the ones that didn't make it. Sending prayers for their families.

Lanier described one of the potential shooters as a while male, possibly wearing a khaki Navy uniform, who was "last seen around 8:35 a.m" and may have been carrying a handgun.

The other potential shooter, she said, is a "black male approximately 50 years of age" who "may have been in possession of a long gun."

When I heard her say that... I just hoped that she is proven wrong. A person who cracks and decides to go crazy, shooting people... okay... it happens....

BUT 3 people??? That sounds very terrorist-like.....

AND this doesn't make it all settle down very well either...

not impressed
Just found out my SIL was in building 197, she hid under her desk, they got her out and she's fine. My heart breaks for the ones that didn't make it. Sending prayers for their families.

Glad she is safe. We just went thru training for situations like this and it was basically: run, hide, fight back in that order. Im hoping I never have to do any of them.

I think ours is run, hide, and pray the people with the guns get there before the other people that have guns find you..
 
Holy crap. I've been outside working all morning, didn't know anything.

Major TV stations have nothing except soaps and court shows.
