This is Kiel's apartment building and happened below Kiel's room. Kiel's room is on the second floor and the rooms that got shot were on the first floor. So this is what I know. He was awake and studying for mid-terms at his desk (1:30AM). He said he was listening to music and heard what he thought were fireworks. At the time he didn't think much of it and went to bed. When he woke up this morning he heard a lot of activity outside of his building. He went outside and saw all the yellow tapes and cops and then found out what happened. He gave a statement to the cops about what he heard. He also had to talk one of the cops into letting him get something out of his car for classes. The cop reluctantly agreed and gave him a minute to get into his car. He then left to catch the shuttle to go to the main campus and go to class. As he rounded the corner of his apt. building he was swarmed by TV cameras crews wanting to interview him. He said he was interviewed by about 4 different TV stations. After returning from class Kiel said that he cops still had his apt. building on lockdown. They didn't want the neighbors talking to each other about what happened and still wouldn't let them near their cars cause it was still considered a crime scene. Kiel said now since he has had time to think about it he's a bit shaken up by 'what could have been'. But…all praise and thanks to God who kept him safe.

Thank God no one was hurt. I hope Kiel doesn't suffer too much trauma from this experience. It's got to be frightening for him...as well as you two and Katlin....and me!! I never, ever, thought something like this would happen when he went away to college. I'm praying for all of you as I know you Ron, Kathy and Kat are probably pretty worried about what could happen next. Unfortunately, we can never know. But I think we do know that our faith in God will help us on our way. (Although, sometimes, I have thought maybe His "tests" were just a little more than I could handle.) I sure hope this doesn't spoil Kiel's college experience. Let us know if there's anything we can do. XOXOXOXO GLDD
