I had stopped at a gas station on the way back from dialysis, and as I was finishing gassing up my scooter, I heard two gunshots from a short distance away. It turned out that a guy had shot his girlfriend outside of the Mexican restaurant less then half a block away! To make matters worse, as I was leaving the gas station, I was nearly run off the road by the murderer as he was running from the cops! Fortunately they caught him just a couple blocks away. This small town hasn't had a murder in years, and I was almost a hood ornament on the scumbag's truck!
