Shooting in LA hits close to home

My son Devin had just pulled into the parking lot of his local Trader Joe's in Los Angeles when an armed suspect who was being chased by police opened crashed his car about twenty yards from him and began opening fire on police officers. Devin dove behind a barrier, where he was joined by three police officers as they returned fire. When the gunman trained his fire on them, Devin and the three policemen flattened themselves on the ground behind the barrier. After the shooter ran into Trader Joe's and the shooting subsided momentarily, Devin was able to belly crawl away and run to the next block. He sent some of the first tweets from the scene and was tracked down an interviewed by CNN. A friend who lived in the neighborhood saw his interview at the scene and walked over, found Devin, and gave him a ride home. Devin is shaken but unhurt and safe at home. All our thoughts are now with the people in that store and for their safety.
