    Default going into lockdown

    I live in a really rural area. today there have been helicopters flying around. Nothing unsual we are on the medvacs flight path. WRONG! There is an escaped fugitve considered armed and dangerous that got away from the cops less than a mile from our house. So I am going into lockdown til I have to pick up dh at work. I won't be going the back way that's for sure. That's where they think he is. We rarely get any excitement around here but when we do it's usually big. Two years ago was the last time. They found two bodies about 3 miles from here in the spilly piles. This guy picked the wrong day to run. It's rainy and cold with fluffies fying around too.

    Take care of yourself and stay safe please.

    Don't forget to carry the phone with you from room to room. Please be careful and let us know when it's over. I would also put something noisy in front of the doors like a stack of cans or pots, something to make noise if the door was opened. Used to work at the Sheriffs Dept and these were some of the tips the Prevention Officer taught in classes.
    Example, if a door has glass that can be taped and cut to reach down and turn a door knob you will hear the cans/pot when the door is opened, even quietly. This actually happened once at another house we had.

    You must live near me then... We have had the warnings all over the news that started about 1pm but said he ran at 8am sure would have been good to know when I sent my children to school this am.... At this point I am glad that I have two dogs that let me know if anyone does not belong in the area... You stay safe and keep aware..... Hope they find him soon....

    Good tips Niko.

    Please stay safe. Good idea also mentioned to keep the phone near you.

    I had this happen once in the house I used to own. Helicopter with search lights going low into everyone's back yard. It's scary.

    I hope it is over soon.

    Yikes, I can relate. I use to live about 2 miles from a Federal Penatentury and remember a few scary times. Hope they find him soon and you can relax. Stay safe.
