Hey, I heard there was a shooting today in Huntsville, Alabama. That's the hometown of the Ville and the mayor. Rob, do us a favor and reply to this to let us know you and the other Huntsville based folks are okay? I know it would make me feel better.

I hope no one close to you or the Hunstville crew was affected in today's tragedy.

God Bless

Four people are confirmed dead after a shooting at an employment office in North Huntsville.

It happened around 6:30 this morning at Labor Ready on Arcadia Circle. Huntsville Police say five people were shot. Four were killed. A fifth victim is being treated at Huntsville Hospital. That person is said to have minor injuries.

Police say the gunman is still on the loose. They have a home on Baker Road surrounded, but no arrest has been made.


I was not at the Labor Ready employment office today so no worries there. I believe that Rob was at home as well. BTW, I didn't get the job at Inline Lighting due to another interviewee who had 2 years experience in the lighting market. Oh well, I guess its gonna be the self-employment strategy continued until something better comes along.

I was asleep @ 6:30.. I'm pretty sure Buford or Cadman wasn't there either since they have jobs.

Well, I'm glad to hear that everyone seems to be accounted for. Maybe I'm just a little jumpy what with 9/11 and then anthrax and then the sniper thing all happening (at least in part) in this area. I have gotten in the habit of checking on people I know that could be in the vicinity of disaster for any reason.

JCOM, Sorry to hear that news. Hang in there, buddy.

Wowo, you would think that the news would be allover this like a fat kid on a cupcake but I haven't heard a thing about it... Oh well, I hope that the victims families are alright.
