This weekend..WOW

SO Friday night I was going ot pick up my friend. It was like 5:30, daylight during rush hour. I pull dow the side street that leads to her house and I stop to let a car go (all the snow makes ever road 1 lane). I see 2 girls and 1 boy about 16 standing on a snow bank. As I start to go, the boy steps out in front of my car. Here I am thinkg "stupid teenagers be stupid" until I realize that he has a gun. OH. So I start to speed up to get past him. He's yelling "pull over b**ch" and as I pass him I look in my rearview to see he is chasing me and pointing the gun at my car. So I am ducking and trying to drive. As soon as I was out of sight I called 911 but I was terrified because was right up the street from my friends house and I was worried they would follow me. People are just CRAZY. I found the quiestions the 911 operater asked humorous. Her: What was he wearing  me: he had a gun.    her: what were the girls wearing    me: he had a gun    her: what kind of gun was it   me: a gun       I always thought I was more observant but all you can concentrate on is the gun.    Today I am laughing about it. It's kind of crazy. Maybe I am still in shock

Re: This weekend..WOW

  • Thank GOD you weren't hurt. (we're you in Springfield? Those kids and their guns these days, always running rampant.)

    Seriously though, if I called 911 I would have responded with the same answers. That's scary.

  • WOW is right honey!  That is so scary!  I'm so glad you are alright.  Praise God nothing more serious happened.  This world is a scary place.  I don't know if I would have had the guts to keep driving.  I think I would freak out that he would start shooting.  What guys won't do to try and "impress" women.  UGH!  Did they find him??

  • I was in Worcester and I don't think they got them. My friend's Dad is a cop so she is going to ask him tonight but I didn't hear any sirens or see any commotion so my guess is that they left as soon as I was gone and did not get caught. I wish they did though! my mom keeps telling me I should have ran them over.
  • Holy crap! Glad you're ok! Where were you?????

  • Whaaat!!!  That's insane!  So glad you are okay.  Hopefully they caught those kids and it will teach them a lesson.  Wow, that is so scary!!
  • Oh my gosh!  The whole time I was reading your post, my stress level was through the roof!  I can't even imagine!

    I'm glad you're ok, and that it didn't end badly.  Hopefully they find them!

  • Wow, that was completely not the post I was expecting (V day and all). I am so glad you are safe and that you were able to get away from them without shots being fired. That is just awful! I bet your H must have been freaking out after you told him. is it bad that I kind of agree with your mom? Glad you are okay!

  • oh my god!!  I about pee'd myself just reading this!  I'm sooooo glad you are okay!!!

    I did start to laugh out loud when I read your conversation with the 911 operator!  I'm pretty sure I would have done the same thing.   

    Jesus.  Thank God you're okay!

  • Holy crap.... talk about something you never think will happen to you!  You did the right thing with getting out of there as fast as you could.  So glad you're safe, and I think your 911 call description is an apt description "He had a gun" - that was the single-most identifying thing at the time - LOL that she didn't get that.

  • Oh. My. Word.  That is crazy!!!  I am so glad that you were able to drive away from him without incident.  If that happened to me I don't think my heart would stop racing for days.  Wow!  Such a good thing that you are okay!

  • Yikes!!!! So glad you're safe!

    With this country being so sue happy, I think if you had ran him over you would've been sued (seeing as a robber can break into a house, hurt himself, and successfully sue the homeowner....those situations).

    Your 911 call did make me laugh, though :)

    This.  What a frightening thing.  I'm sure your adrenaline was UP after all that!
