Exciting times in the neighborhood Sunday morning.
Toddler found safe afterbeing taken from mother | Police/Fire | The Journal Gazette
A baby daddy kidnaps his kid and then runs into our neighborhood and hides in the bushes the next street over.
So the wife and I put a couple things in the truck to deliver to a neighbor in the next block. I was almost too lazy to get dressed and was just going to make the quick trip in my pajamas. At the last minute I decided I should probably put pants on so I could carry. Glad I did! Two houses down from my neighbor's house a half dozen police cars descend blocking off streets and using their cars for cover/concealment. The four of us watched for a couple minutes and when a couple officers pulled long guns out of their trunks and someone racked a shotgun we decided to head home while our friends retreated into their locked house.
The cops did not know where the guy was and set up a perimeter just as we escaped back to our house deeper in the neighborhood. An hour later the cops had the police tank and a full gear SWAT team searching back yards.
This was a good reminder to me to always carry no matter how short or safe(?) my destination is. Helped reinforce to my wife why I always carry and hopefully gave her one more nudge to carry herself. The event will make a good conversation starter with my cat loving, Bernie voting, Vegan neighbors that would be shocked if they knew I carried while eating dinner at their house.
