I am sure from what I have read that our Becky is in the south west corner of her state. This report is from a hospital north of Little Rock in Sherwood.

Can someone check on Becky just to make sure?

She’s back in rehab, so should be safe.

.

Wait, are we checking to see if she’s safe, or if she’s the shooter?

(Hey, Beck would laugh at that…)

I think the hospital she was in has its own rehab facility on campus. I may be wrong, but even if I’m not, odds are she’s OK. I hope. 🤞

I wouldn’t expect that she was there. Little Rock is very central to the state, so north of that would be in the northern half.

I could see her being taken to Little Rock itself, as it is the largest city in the state, and thus handles a lot of healthcare. But not likely a town outside of it.

Plus it sounds like her family can easily visit, so it’s probably closer to where she lives.

I’m not in Little Rock. I’m fine.  
I’m slightly alarmed there may be copy cat shooters.  
If I can break into this joint anyone should be able to.

The director says to be careful in the courtyard. And if you see something, say something.

Thx, for your concern @BigT

It wasn’t a random shooting. The two men knew each other. One was visiting a patient on the 4th floor when the other guy shot and killed him.

Crazy stuff with absolutely no regard for anyone elses safety.
