Traumatic moment happened and I still can’t believe it

traumatic moment has happened in my hometown this weekend and I am out of words.

Something that wasn’t supposed to happen, tragically happened.

The news of this weekend was something unbelievably tragic! It has made many of us in this area very terrified and some dont want to go outside

This weekend the SOS got a call to a resident in my hometown and that’s when this traumatic incident happened.

The caller to SOS actually ended a life of an ambulance driver. The ambulance driver responded on the call and went to the caller’s home and thats when the ambulance nurse got stabbed to death.

incredibly horrific and we all are in shock.

My friend J arranged a memorial moment for everyone who wanted to come a light a candle. It happened so quickly when the plan of arranging this event til it actually happen. Barely 3 hours. I helped her get the words out about the memorial event and to our surprise, many people actually come to it even when it was a last minute decision.

It’s beautiful to see a whole community come together as one to mourn the loss of a member of the community, but not only that. Mourn the loss of a friend, a family member, a coworker, a hero.

The press/media came to it, and J told them about why she arranged this event. To have a place where everyone can come together and mourn. Send thoughts to everyone. Come together as a community and show that what happened is not ok.

According to the media, there were approximately 200 of us who showed up. That is not everyone, but it was more than we expected. On such short notice as well.

What happened this weekend is not ok. The SOS should have sent backup with the ambulance. The one who ended the paramedic’s life is known as dangerous and the police knows about him.

Only a few days before this tragedy happened. Another event happened, but that time, the person who killed the paramedic chased another paramedic that day with a baseball bat, and now this. So much has been told about this week and this weekend. I am still in massive shock.

I know the person who did it. Since young age. I have been to same school as his brother.

I’m out of words, and seeing and hearing the terror this community now has is horrific. I’m scared even though the police caught him fast, but who knows who gets influenced by this? It’s terrifying to just even think about it.

I understand people who have been interviewed by the news and who have said they are scared to go outside. Some people want to move from here, and some people want to move from apartments to own houses for better protection when this event happened in an apartment complex.

I completely understand them. I’m thankful that I made the decision to move away from my hometown a few years ago. I’m scared to even think of what could have happened to my son and me if we were still living there.

The memorial service was absolutely beautiful, and the church bells rang in the background when we held a quiet minute to mourn the paramedic (I know the gender of the paramedic but want to keep that info outside from here). It was beautiful. And after a few minutes, a rainbow actually showed in the sky. Magical.

This traumatic event or moment has made me feel more grateful and thankful for my life and my family. I have also learned to cherish moments and not get stuck in the digital world but actually make memories with my son. I was already doing that, but after this, it made me more into the thoughts. I don’t know how to explain. I hope you all can understand what I mean with this.
