Maybe it's the heat. The last few days my little corner of the world has seen an increase in violence or threats of violence. This past Saturday a man reported to be "despondent" shot two police officers as they approached his home and he in turn was shot by a third police officer. Fortunately, no lives were lost in that incident.
Today, a man barricaded himself in a house. He was said to be armed and dangerous and a day long stand-off ensued which ended with his peaceful surrender just moments ago. The Lakewood police department sent a robot into the house to help get the so far unnamed man out of the crawl space where he had holed up.
Both of these incidents occurred just a few blocks from my house. This is by far the most police activity I have experienced in the fourteen years I've lived here. I'm hoping it's the last of it, too.
