So the daughter of one of Dad's co-workers was murdered today.

As far as anyone knows, there was no reason for it; could've happened to anyone. She was just walking down the street when someone drove past and shot her in the chest. We got the call during dinner.

I have no idea if I've even met her (maybe as a kid or something, we're about the same age), and her father is more Dad's friend than anyone else's, so I... don't know. I'm shaking a little, but I still feel oddly detached from the whole thing. Empty. I don't know how to describe it or what to say.

Dad's thinking about visiting the family. I'm kind of thinking about going as well, but I have no idea what I'd even do.

Edit: I'm okay for the record skjfghd don't worry or feel like you have to cheer me up or anything. It just came as a shock.

Oh no. That's terrible...

When that murder happened here in our condo, I didn't even know the guard who was shot-- but I still really shaken by it and cried hysterically ahaha. Though probably it was because it happened right next to us and I heard all the crying and gunshots at the time of the murder, so...

It would be nice if you did visit, I think. Just that little gesture.

Ugh, I know. I feel awful for the family, there was just no reason for it.

That... sounds completely horrible. I don't blame you for crying hysterically, man, I would've done the same thing.

Yeah... I dunno. Maybe I'll go to the funeral, if Dad's going and it's all right with the people there and everything.
