Yesterday afternoon a crazed gunman drove to a ranchy horse area of Thousand Oaks (named the safest city in the US and right next to our valley) and shot three people, two fatally, one is hospitalized in serious condition. The gunman then hijacked a truck from a man in a nearby supermarket parking lot and took off.  Early this AM the perp was spotted on our road where he tried to gain entry to a neighbor's property to steal another truck.  The woman there called 911 before being shot in the back of the head and her two kids were pistol-whipped.  This locale is just a block from  here!    A sheriff arrived and his car was shot up and he received two gunshot wounds to the upper torso.  The police helicopters were hovering in the skies over our property with the  birds honking, quacking, gobbling and yelling, scampering for hiding places. The gunman was chased to Simi (another nearby city) where he ran into a Walmart, eventually shooting himself in the head.  The news and police helicopters finally departed about noon from here and peace has been restored to the animal population.  Talk about a PREDATOR ATTACK.....this ain't supposed to happen in our quiet little valley!

You have to train Travis to patrol your property!  Nothing like having an attack turkey after you!  Glad the guy stayed away from your house!  I still think it's getting time for you to think about moving.  Say hi to Maz for us. David & Kara says to give her a hug for them.

Read also that the shooter had some connection to the victims so this made it seem less threatening. Probably some jerk picking off some other jerk. Saves us the trouble!

Of course the news is wrong most of the time. They are always in such a hurry to get their stories out that facts are not a priority. Any word Carol on why he shot the people?
