My Nightmare Coming True

Yesterday was not the ordinary day I thought it would be. Around noon my children and I heard rounds of gunfire go off. I ran to the window, saw two officers with their guns drawn and going off and i ran upstairs with the kids and hid in the master closet. I called Chez immediately to come home then my parents and my sister so that I could have them watch the news for me. I had no idea what was going on and I was terrified. The gun shots went off over and over and over for 3 hours. All I could do was keep calm to keep my kids from being scared. Kingston was such a brave boy. He played quietly with the toys that we thankfully had in our closet and Makenna nursed most of the time. She sensed something wasnt right. I called 911 twice. I heard helicopters over head. Chez was giving me updates over the phone because he was standing outside of the neighborhood with many other husbands who couldnt rescue their wives and children. I think Chez had it pretty bad. I just wanted to be with him but I knew it was impossible so I did all I could to stay calm. At times it was hard. I had no idea if there was a mad man on the loos shooting at random people. The officers were giving everyone false information and this I knew because I was in the middle of hearing everything. I finally snuck out to get the kids some snacks. I crawled down the stairs. I peeked out the window to see what was going on and the swat team was armed and standing outside of my neighbors house. The windows were busted through and what appeared to be blood on the window. I hurried back upstairs and then my alarm in my house went off. I called 911 and demanded they brought an offcier to the house to escort my small children and I asap. They had declined before but this was the last straw for me. At last I was reunited with Chez. I did a couple of interviews with both Fox 5 news las vegas and las vegas 13 news. We had to evacuate the neighborhood for a few hours. When we came back, Chez watched the police roll the dead body of the suspect out on a stretcher. I stayed in. I then learned that our across the street neighbor had been home with her two teenage daughters when it happened and bullets were going through her house. They spent 3 frightening hours on the kitchen floor hoping to save themselves from the gunshots. Their house is now filled with bullets and bullet holes in the walls and doors. Luckily we were one house from hers and escaped that nightmare. It was a frightening day and we are so thankful to be alive. go to las vegas 13 news and click on a video clip titled, neighbors trapped in the line of fire, to see me and Makenna interviewing. I was also on Fox 5 news as well as Chez but we cant find any online video for it.
