I've just been to pick up my daughter from youth theatre rehearsal at her school and had to make a detour just before the road her school is on, because the police had closed off the road. I went the long way round and saw the other end of the road-block just at the junction onto the school's road. Thought it was an accident or something, as they had the 'Police - Accident' signs up and had blocked off the road with police cars with the flashing lights.

It wasn't until I got to the school and one of the older kids who helps with youth theatre (who happens to be the 17-year-old who lives next door to us) came out and told us that they weren't letting the kids out until someone came to collect them, as there was a gunman wandering around town and they weren't sure where he was!

Needless to say, I took a circuitous route home without stopping to do the recycling.

This was 15 minutes ago - we've just this minute got home - so I expect it's still going on.

Meep!
