backupdump002So 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.

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.

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.

Date: 2009-04-05 05:30 pm (UTC)I remember about four years or so ago, a little girl who lives down our street got hit by a car and died. She was only about three. I'd never even met her, and I only knew her family a little bit, but I was really upset... just because things like that shouldn't happen.
