### Re: Trolley Square

We first got news about the shooting by looking at the Drudge Report online, of all places. We then turned on our TV to the only local broadcast station we get (a fuzzy Fox 13) and watched them tell us over and over that nothing was known except there were fatalities, and the shooter was one of them. Pretty scary--you start going over in your mind everyone you know that could have been there. They are reporting now that five people were killed--two 28-year-old women, a 24-year-old man, a 15-year-old girl, and a 52-year-old man.
The completely random nature of this event is what is the hardest for me to grasp. Those people were just hanging out at the mall--something Telima and I and all our kids did at Provo Towne Centre on Friday! My heart really aches for the families of the dead--and those in critical condition--there are several.
In less sad news, but still distressing for our little family, Mercy has the yucky stomach flu with a fever. She has been so sad and miserable the last day and a half--Bradley stayed home yesterday so to help me with it all. Having a throwing up contagious toddler while trying to keep a newborn healthy is a feat, let me tell you.
