My neighbor was stabbed!

I had the craziest Friday of my life yesterday and sitting here starting to write about it is making me a little sick to my stomach. I was upstairs in my office sewing some seat cushions when all of a sudden around 12:15 I herd some guy yelling all crazy, "HELP ME! SOMEBODY HELP ME!" At first I just thought it was people down at the pool fooling around because I can always hear people yelling because it is so close to us. But I herd it again so I opened my window and sure enough I heard it, "HELP ME! HELP ME! SOMEBODY HELP ME!" He sounded like he was dieing! And by this time I was scared out of my mind! I started to think, oh my gosh! What should I do? I am this tiny girl all by myself, should I grab something big and run out there! Should I go to my neighbors and have them go with me?! Should I call 911? Then before I could even decide what to do I could see people coming out of their houses and going to help. The police came and a firetruck (the fire station is litteraly like right next door) So I stood there and kept watching. My heart was racing and I was so scared! Then all of a sudden the garage door opened up across the way and I grabbed a pencil as fast as I could to write down a license plate # and then a black convertible pulled out and raced away! I got like 3 #'s down and that was it. I was so freaked! Even though there we people out there I was still scared to go out all by myself (I know I am a wimp! but when you are in the moment and all by yourself everything is so crazy!) So by this time it was about 12:25 and I had to go get Isaac from camp so I got in my car and pulled out of the garage into the same alley that car did, CREEPY, and drove all slow. When I got to the end of the driveway I could see the police and ambulance already there. There we people all around and there was a guy across the street laying on his stomach with a blanket covering his body! For all I knew he was just murdered! So I pulled out and ended up pulling over to call John and tell him what just happened! I still didn't get out because I was afraid of what I might have seen. So, I went and got Isaac and took him to my grandma's because I didn't want to freak him out. So, now go and read the whole story

later we gave the detective the info I had but it really didn't matter because they caught her right away.


Our back ally to our garage and the whole back street was blocked off all day and taped off and everything, just like on TV. People had to be escorted to their houses and we couldn't get into our garages. It was all really freaky. It still feels a little creeping being home.

here are some pictures I took of volunteer cops keeping watch in the back

that guy is right next to my yard

this lady is getting escorted to her house

These police were taking pictures of the back of his house.

I wanted to get pictures of the front and all the circus but I didn't. I still can't believe what happened. Scary.
