[There’s been some random shootings in the DC area](http://www.wtopnews.com/index.php?nid=25&sid=8998). Montgomery County and DC schools are on a lock-down status. Other area schools still have outdoor activities planned but away from streets. ---

This just in, the search for the shooting suspects has gone nationwide. I bet they’ll be profiled on the next America’s Most Wanted. ---

A woman here in the Pittsburgh area was grazed by a stray bullet while sitting on her sofa watching television with her husband. Someone was shooting at a playground outside. Shit. ---

One of my friends is in DC right now, and he’s crazy. He rides his bike around to find UE spots, and then just wanders around on foot. I just hope no one shoots him. ---
