I texted my friend Claire yesterday to ask her what she wanted for her special birthday and didn't hear back. So I texted her again when I got up and thought, oh I bet they are on their holiday for her 60th to Las Vegas. She was going with her husband, her daughter (who is my God daughter) and her fiancé, when when I came online I panicked. Mid morning I had a text from her husband that said "we are in Vegas, we are currently in a basement under armed guard. Clare and I ran for our lives but got separated from Jake and Hannah, but finally heard they are in a basement 6 doors up also under armed guard. Vegas is in lockdown, we will keep you posted'. You know that saying 'my blood ran cold' well mine really did.

It must be a terrible thing when your holiday of a lifetime, which should be special and joyful, descends into this sort of violence and horror.

I know Cromwell that was what I was thinking. They have been to Vegas twice before though, so at least they have some good memories
