STUCK!

So...I went to pick up the Fields family from the airport this afternoon....we dropped doug off at Cody's football practice and headed back to the Field's house. As we are driving up their street we pass a police motorcycle parked on the side of the road and the cop standing, facing us driving by with this HUGE rifle pointed at the ground. So cathy and i decided to be brave/nosy/stupid and see what was happening so we turned around and parked the car where we could see all the action and even video tape a little of it. 

So a ton more cop cars pull up....cops running everywhere with huge guns pointed at this house. One cop sprinted across the street ducking...and then laid flat on his stomach with his gun pointed at the house. At this point a cop ran our direction and told us to get inside and lock the doors and the roped off the entire street with police tape. 

So here I am, stuck at the Fields' house...helicopters circling...waiting for this person to come banging on the door. (at leas that's what we pictured in our heads!)

the neighbor heard from one of the cops there was a murder a few houses down and the guy got away...so they are looking for him and until then the street is roped off. Which means i'm still at the Fields' house instead of our wednesday night event. Which is funny because Doug is stuck there, not able to come home and i'm stuck in his home not able to go there. 

crazy crazy crazy. Like something on tv.
