Last night Marvin and I were on our way home to set up our fridge that we had been waiting for and the road was blocked off by the police. There were a ton of police cars and officers with big shields talking to our neighbors house. They told us we were not allowed to go to our house so we had to turn around and head back to Rod and Virginia's (marvin's mom and dad) house. The whole time we were over there all I could think about was how lucky we were that we were gone.
At about 9:30 we went to see if they were done yet and sure enough the street was open. We tried talking to a police officer to see what had happened but he wouldn't tell us anything. A little bit latter Marvin saw that the neighbor across the street was outside so he went to get the story. They said that the man that lives next door was high on something and he went into his house with a gun and barricaded himself in his house. He supposedly took everyone in the house hostage. They said that all they could think about was us. They said "We kept thinking about how you guys had just moved in and we didn't want you guys to get hurt." It's nice to have neighbors that care! They also said that the house next door is just one of those houses that the police are always looking at. I'm so glad that Heavenly Father was watching over us and keeping us safe!
Uggh....how horrible. I hope things improve in the neighborhood.
