Hello ~
I'm sure that I am not who you were thinking of,(generally a lurker but an avid follower of all message threads here)but I live in Candor, NY, which is about 30 miles west of Binghamton.  My son & his girlfriend had business at the Broome County Courthouse, which is just a few blocks away from the Civic Center, there on Friday morning.  They had to take another route home out of Binghamton, as traffic was being directed away from the the main streets there.  He called me on his cell phone to see if I had any idea what was going on, and when I went on-line to see what the Binghamton news channel had to report, I was surprised to see that it was the "breaking news"  story on the Yahoo! homepage, via CNN and the AP, as well.  And this morning's news reports out of Pittsburgh (the man reported to be "lying in wait" and the three policemen who were killed outright) -- it's happening on a near-daily basis, it seems.  Both of these events seem to have been premeditated, if the news reports are correct -- the man in Binghamton actually barricaded the back door of the building with his own car to prevent people from leaving, before he entered the building, and the fellow in Pittsburgh was armed and wearing a bullet-proof vest when the police arrived to deal with the reported domestic incident occurring there.  Very unsettling times, these.
