Not sure if anyone is listening to stream but a while ago they said we are heading to Mary Greeley to decide if we need to go straight to morgue.

Edit. Bypassing ER and heading straight to morgue. Haven't figured who they are taking.

I just heard that too.

Son texted from Lebaron to see what was going on, everything hit the fan when he was in class and he was watching twitter explode. Not sure he paid much attention to class but wanted an all clear before he left for Morrill. He was laughing during the sock incident but not this one.

Was going to make a stupid joke about wondering where my lawn care guys were but now that someone is dead it doesn't seem as funny.

Did the driver die? Haven't been listening to scanner feed. Keep getting texts from kid in class asking about stuff.

Any more info on this?


Vehicle was a stolen lawn care truck. Some pretentious lawn doosh snob isn't going to get his fall herbicide application today. That's the real tragedy in all of this.

Cop on news said truck was trying to ram cops when they fired shots. Was this after he hit a tree? They said they thought not dangerous to shoot on campus cause students were in class. This seems an odd statement since there are always student wandering around.

If the alternative is getting rammed by a truck you're probably between a rock and a hard place, or between a tree and a landscaping truck as the case may be.

Good thing it happened while students were in class and not between. Otherwise who knows what could have happened.

True that. They also said they thought it was an area students didn't walk around a lot. Must have been a tough truck.
