This morning a mother was shot in her home while her house was being robbed. Her 3 year old and 1 year old were at home while it happened. SWAT shot the robber at the scene and the mother ended up dying this afternoon :'( The Deputy Police Chief is a fellow parishioner & we know his family from church/school.
"Desperate times call for deserate measures" is what I told Silverback on the phone earlier. The economy is so terrible, people are losing their jobs & homes so people will resort to stealing because they have to put food on the table somehow. So it's no doubt that even safer neighborhoods like ours will see an increase in crimes like this. Last week our air compressor was stolen ... I'm relieved it was only that & our car wasn't taken!
Here are the details and pix:

How incredibly sad that someone in our community will be without a wife & mother this Holiday Season. My heart, my prayers, my love goes out to this tragic-stricken family. And my heart goes out to the robber too. The complete story has yet to unfold so who knows -- he could have been a desperate father himself who, apparently, made a bad decision that cost him his life. There might be another family who has lost a husband & father this season as well.

Hi Cowsin... I was just re-reading your post on here tonight. Brian's cousin's husband is a San Mateo police officer and tonight we were talking about this story. He was actually there that night... he was part of the group that tried to break the front door down to get inside and the guy shot out at the police officers. He was almost hit. So scary... so sad. :-(
