Just Another Day *Updated*
Phil called me at midnight Sunday to tell me that his friend, who he had been hanging out with, had just been shot. Just to clarify, this isn’t an everyday occurance for either Phil or this friend. We are both a little freaked out, very sleepy (as Phil didn’t get home until almost 3am) and concerned for the friend and the friend’s child.
Both friend and child are ok. Friend is still in the hospital recovering but doing well. It saddens both Phil and I that someone who was just trying to help a neighbor ended up taking a bullet for his good deed, but I am more impressed that this person was so quick to disregard his own safety to help someone in need. Lord only knows what might have happened to the woman who was being mugged if he hadn’t startled them. Still, we are all thankful this was as bad as it got.
If anyone knows something in regard to this crime, please contact the authorities. *Updated on the website with photo of suspect*

Comments & Trackbacks
Hey guys, I’m so sorry about this. I’m so glad to know that he is doing well, considering.
Sarah, at my office, is neighbors with your friend and she was so shocked to hear about this. He was just at her house Sunday morning to pay for Girl Scout cookies. I you would, pass on Sarah’s hope for a speedy recovery and all that stuff.
