Lockdown Update
So my sister Sara lives in Vegas and one of her friends there is the granddaughter of the gentlemen who owns Orchard Drug where the attempted robbery took place yesterday. Luckily the pharmacists, his grandson, and only one customer were in the store when it happened. The robber held a loaded gun to the pharmacists head and demanded oxycotin which he was told they did not have because they are a small pharmacy. He then wanted percocet and loritab. When he was told they don't stock those either he got angry and left. Thank goodness he left instead of doing something crazy (or crazier). I am glad everyone at the pharmacy as well as at the school were all ok. It makes me wonder how messed up the guy is who tried to get the drugs. Is he so addicted that he resorted to armed robbery? How did he get so messed up? How old/young is he? What about his family? Addiction is an awful disease, like cancer, that can mess up the lives of those who are suffering from it as well as their family and friends. I am going to pray for the man who robbed as well as the ones who were robbed.

Dale- the pharmacist, is that father of my moms best friend! We are so sad to here this happened. My mom is going to call Sheri right away.
Thanks for the update! I would have been heartbroken if something worse had happened. Can you even imagine how scary that must have been to have a gun pointed at your head? So surreal! Like, that can't happen here! That was less than 1/2 mile away! Yikes!
