[QUOTE="ranchwife, post: 299830, member: 1285"] June 14th, 2003, a "vagrant" who had had one too many in one of our local taverns was calmly and POLITELY asked to leave the establishment after repeatedly putting "the moves" on several young, inelligible ladies......the man left...angrily, but waited outside of the bar with a loaded 9mm and a loaded 357!! When the group of youngsters left the bar at closing time, the "intruder" opened fire!! The victims ranged in age 22 to age 27....a young couple was shot and both life-flighted (one to billings and one to seattle)----leaving behind a 3 year old son to be tended by grandparents while he waited to see if either of his parents would live!! Other victims were critically wounded and flown to area hospitals from our hospital after we did the best we could to "stabilize" them!! None of these kids should have lived, yet we managed to save 6 of the 7 victims!! Sadly, the 27 year old father of a beautiful little 2 year old girl died at the scene!! He was one of the hubby's best friends!! When something like this happens in your little town (population 750), it hits home...everyone knows everyone and most of us are "related" in one way or another!! Soon, however, anger and vengence gave way to gentle remembrance of the victims and of the man who lost his life....bumper stickers with my "signature" soon were being sold all over town to raise money for the victims as NONE of them had health insurance!! It's been 3 painful years since that awful night, but the memories are as fresh as if it had happened yesterday!! [/QUOTE]
