Goleta Postal Shooting

At 9:15pm last night shots rang out in the Goleta sky. Billy and I didn't hear anything... (maybe because of the intense show we were watching - Fox's 24) But the 10 o'clock Fox news was reporting this breaking story. We switched over to Key3 (the local news) and listened to Paula Lopez report this tragic event. (They interupted The Bachelor:Paris for the breaking news.)

We begin to hear the report that a woman began shooting people at the Goleta Post Office off of Storke, which is less that a mile from where we live, at that time she was still at large. 2 had been confirmed dead, with a possible 3rd and one person rushed to Cottage Hostpital with a severe gun-shot wound to the head. Billy and I sat there mesmerizied, wondering what the heck is up with postal shootings?? This is like the 3rd or 4th that I have heard of. Anyway, I woke up this morning to find out the woman shot 5 people total and then committed suicide. The wounded is still critical condition. At this time, no names have been released, just the sad details.

I heard the sirens and the police cars heading somewhere around 9:00 last night, so I knew something big was happening. Then, I heard the report on the news this morning. It's very sad that the woman chose to do such a thing. She must have been extremely troubled and lost.
