Arlene, what was the final result?
|
Sounds like it was a busy morning Arlene. Hopefully the guy is getting the help he needs.

I heard a gunshot about 12:15am, checked the clock, checked out back to make sure my son wasn't still in the garage... and went back to sleep. Well, apparently, there was a 20 year old suicidal young man just down the street that intersects with our road. My son got up around 7:30 to head out to work and got me up to see what was going on. They had blocked off our road entirely. He was lucky he got out to go to work. Hopefully the kid didn't succeed |
Yeah, hopefully he didn't end up succeeding. Bad enough scene as it was.
|
Well, he was the one who called 911, so at least he did reach out. I understand they arrived shortly after midnight, and negotiated until they finally got into the house at about 8:15am... he had shot himself, and last anyone heard, he was in critical condition at a local hospital.
|
Well that was a call for help!
|
Hopefully he will come through all right and get the help he needs Arlene.

It truly was like something you see on TV - and I'm watching it all unfold in front of the house... guys in camo with rather large guns... guys in full SWAT gear... canine unit... chopper landing... unreal.
|
That is true, he did try. Hopefully he pulls through.

I have seen scenes like that as well. Several yrs ago we had a barricaded person incident. He had taken hostages as well. That was maybe a mile from my house.
|
And having a son exactly the same age (thankfully well adjusted, with a good head on his shoulders), I think made it hit home just a little harder. I can't imagine what the family is going through at this point.

I can understand that Arlene.
|
It is to bad they feel that is the only solution
