I haven't seen him for almost 3 weeks so that might be part of it too. I'm going this Saturday though.
I too feel for the families affected by this. At the first report it was 3 dead, then that changed to 2. They said the fighting only lasted 5 minutes. The 2 that were killed were not on a life sentence but unfortunately that's what they got.
