I am relieved to hear your colleague emerged unscathed, physically speaking. I cannot even begin to imagine the feelings that were running through his head as gunfire sounded. I'm sure that night will be replaying in his mind for quite a long time.In my first post I said a member of my staff is in a band that way playing in Dayton last night. Just got off the phone with him setting up an interview for my news department and found out his band was on stage inside the club where the shooting happened. So that hits damn close to home. I support the right to bear arms but hearing a guy I have worked with for more than 12 years almost bought it has me worked the fuck up. So I took several deep breaths, put on my bosses hat and started getting my news team working on Sunday to get this covered.
Kudos to you & your staff for the time you are devoting to reporting on the incident.
Your colleague will be able to offer first hand perspective that will be difficult to obtain elsewhere.
