I’ve heard from several of you wanting to know if I’m okay because I live close to Houston. Yes, I am fine and so are all of mine. Right now, it appears that no one was killed except the shooter (this is what they are telling us now). People were shot in their cars, so it appears to be random.
I’ll let you know if anything changes.
Welcome to The World's Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc.
My name is Susan DuQuesnay Bankston. I live in Richmond, Texas, in the heart of Tom DeLay's old district. It's nuttier than squirrel poop here.
I am honored and privileged to know Miss Juanita Jean Herownself, hairdresser extraordinary and political maven. Since she does not have time to fiddle with this internet stuff, I type her website for her and you can read it if you want to. If you don't, she truly does not give a big bear's butt.
A lot of what I post here has to do with local politics, but you probably have the same folks in your local government.
This ain't a blog. Blogs are way too trendy for me. This is a professional political organization.
Glad to hear you are safe – too bad the Chron’s reporter was on serious drugs or didn’t know how to get salient answers
Eduardo Andrade, 42, was driving his Audi A3 this morning on his way to La Fitness when he found himself thrust into the middle of an active shooter scene.
“As I was driving by Law Street I suddenly hard a big explosion,” said Andrade. “I covered myself, accelerated and tried to get out of there. I did not know if someone was following me or trying to shoot me.”
Two bullets struck his vehicle, one came through the windshield and the other the front-passenger window.
“One bullet hit here and the other here,” he said, while pointing at the holes. “I felt the hot air.”
The father of two who works in the oil and gas industry was on his way to exercise at his gym at about 6:25 a.m. when the shooting happened.
“It’s so random, think of it, if I was driving a little faster or a little slower, the bullet would have had a different trajectory,” he said.
1. Thanks for the free advertising for Audi
12. “I hard a big explosion” – please don’t do freaky stuff in your car while driving
Mm. Sounds like someone went off the rails in a major way and decided he wasn’t going alone. Do you suppose it is too early to have a conversation about these things yet? Yeah, I thought so…
2AP says, a problem at a law firm.
3But it’s AP sooooo….
Keep us posted.
OMG and krispy kreme! A lawyer??? Seriously? Why would anyone with the education and the contacts a lawyer has go off the rails and . . . oh, wait . . . its Texas.
4I haven’t heard yet who did this or why, but can we go ahead and call it terrorism? Maybe even gun terrorism?
Shooting at random people en masse is intended to incite terror. This is often attributed to political or religious causes, but at it’s core it’s someone who is on an ego trip and wants to show power through violence.
5Little publicity compared to New York. Always health and happiness to my favorite lady.
6My little bride called me at work aboot this. She tole me that when she last lived in Houston in the early 1970s bout 600 peoples a year got killed in local beer joints. Fighting. With guns. And the local media said mostly nothing about the then carnage. But NOW this here story is all over CNN. I’m not sure if she laments the loss of life in Houston in the early 1970s, the lack of media attention to the loss of life in Houston in the 1970s, or the fact that sometime in the past anyone anywhere thought it was OK to mix large quantities of beer and loaded firearms.
I take a more pastoral view: Welcome to Texas. Y’all.
7One person is in critical condition. All the rest seem to be okay. It was random shooting at passing cars in his own neighborhood.
8Jeez. I’m glad there was only one injury.
MN had a random shooter caught a couple weeks ago. He said we he felt upset, anxious, whatever, he liked to go for a drive and shoot his big handgun out the window. Not deliberately at someone. Just shoot. This is Minnesota so he’s locked up now. I don’t know if he’ll end up in jail or get mental health help. What he won’t get is another gun. Blue states are like that. Red states are led by idiots.
9The latest: Law enforcement sources said that the shooter was wearing what appeared to be an antique German uniform with Swastikas on it.
10Christian Nazis. Radical Christianist terrorism – deport ’em all, close the borders, put up a wall!
11Of course you’re safe! The universe NEEDS you.
