Recently we've been having more drive by shootings, and shoot outs between the bad guys and cops.
This past week, on Wednesday actually, a friend and I were driving home from the movies when we passed a bunch of cops and a couple of taxis. Were like what happened here?!? But we kept on driving (you never stick around when there are a bunch of cops...and this is why). As it turns out not 15min before we passed, some taxis had a little fender bender. As they were sorting out the details with the police, two guys drove by and opened up a couple of rounds on everyone at the scene but mostly targeting the police. The police officers were shot in the back (and are ok I think) but the taxi drivers (three in all I think) were killed (two on the spot and the other one just died today) :-S. Here's the ironic part, the shooters where driving fast, hit a bump, flipped their vehicle and died....
Tonight there was another shooting in the neighborhood of a friend and the police wouldn't let people leave their houses.
Last week, when we were all out at the fair grounds for a concert, in the neighborhood where my church is located (and just around the corner from a different friend's house) there was a shoot out between cops and the bad guys. That night my friends couldn't return home cuz the cops had blocked off that entire area. I've driven past and seen the bullet holes in the building.
Crazzzy stuff.
Please pray for my safety, and the safety of everyone here in Durango. Mostly the danger is with the cops. They're the targets. However if you happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time (like the taxi drivers).....
