Your job has you working in a facility right next door to a horrific scene. Yes, I work right next door to the SIKH temple that was attacked today. I work in two facilities two days a week. I start at one and drive to the other on Sunday and Monday. I had left the Oak Creek facility an hour and half prior to the shootings. My co-worker this a.m. there, Laura, was totally unaware anything was happening right next door until the driver we use to transport tapes finally got there at 11:55. He should have been there at 11:30 but was turned away from the Rawson/Howell avenues. He called me immediately. I tried calling Laura but no answer. Of course I freaked a bit but it turned out she was already down stairs waiting on the driver. He finally got there and told her what was happening. She in turned called the Brown Deer Computer Command Center and told them she was OK but she would like it if someone came down. So someone did. I finally got a hold of Laura myself and she told me she had gone outside the compound, yes - fully protected with very high fencing, special gates and electronically locked doors, and was amazed at what she saw. She sort of freaked a bit on the phone because she had heard there was a suspect on the loose. This turned out to not be true.
After everything I have heard about the SIKH religion, this was one heck of a messed up person who did this. The only thing that makes sense is that he thought they were Muslims. Such a shame. He probably thought if he did this and died he would be heralded as a martyr. Instead, he will only be remembered as a foolish, misguided person. Oh and they are investigating his home. It is a block north of one of my host's home! They have evacuated about a dozen homes right by his home but based on what they find... Say a prayer people!
