My sister works at the Discovery Channel in Silver Spring and I was worried, shocked, and horrified and I found out about an armed man, James Lee, had entered the building and had fired a few shots and took hostages. It also appeared that he was strapped with bombs. My sister called me quietly from her office, leaving me a voicemail stating that they were in lockdown. My heart was beating hard and I was sweating hard as I prayed and called people that I knew. I was relieved when she called me about ten minutes later and said that they’d exited the building.
I’m glad the whole situation is over. It was just a bit too close to home for me! 🙁
Wonderful to hear your sister is okay.

Thanks, Mason.
Whoa, what a horrific experience for your sister. . .and for you & all the family! So glad she came through it all okay. Pray that she’ll find God’s peace and gain some spiritual insights through it.
