KAT’S SCANNER SCOOP WED AUGUST 27TH+MSU STUDENT FALLS FROM ADUC ATRIUM
By Kat • Aug 27th, 2008 • Category: Scanner ScoopWhile driving around 12:30p.m.? I got a phone call on my cell alerting me to two subjects in Wal-Mart parking lot fighting with each other and armed with knives. Since I was already headed that way, I kept going and pulled over 4 times for city cops running signal 9. As I was at the light at Wal-Mart waiting to turn in, all the cops headed down Bratton Branch. That’s all I know. I have no idea if it’s related in any way, shape or form but just as I walked into Kroger, a female employee was going out the door crying and said something to a fellow worker. All I heard of the conversation was, “were killed”.
To the lady at the CoffeeTree Bookstore that’s a faithful Scanner Scoop reader, thank you for asking how I was doing. I appreciate that. I literally couldn’t get words out of my mouth at my worst, so I ‘think’, fingers crossed I’m on the mend since I did get that “adrenalin junkie” feeling back when the cop cars went by and before it was like, so what? Don’t know, just praying things will get back on track. Hurricane Fay, of course, is churning in the Atlantic/Gulf and hubby dearest will be flying back on Sept 1st and will be changing planes in Dallas! YIKES!, so kinda worried about that. If anyone hears any thing else about the guys fighting with knifes, etc., feel free to put it on here. By the way, again to the lady at the CoffeeTree Bookstore, I forgot the CAT carving I sat down! POO! However, after dropping several hundred for new glasses this morning, then wiper blades, oil change, Kroger, Bookstore, with the impending hurricane in the gulf, I filled the car all the way up with gas until it threw up, I can’t afford to PAY ATTENTION!
Around 9:59p.m. call came in from MSU for a signal 9 run to ADUC. A student fell from the atrium to the floor before. I think that’s 3 stories isn’t it. Will update later.—10:21p.m. UPDATE EMS en-route to St. Claire signal 9 with male. 26 foot drop to the concrete floor.—UPDATE—fell while trying to slide down the 3rd floor railing? Ah, not to be unsympathic but kinda reminds me of a hillbilly joke where they said a redneck’s last words: “Hey Bubba, hold my beer and watch this!”. I do pray for a full recovery, of course, it’s just college as usual, it seems. I must have missed out, I went there and actually attended classes and studied, no sororities, no clubs, etc. Go figure. Anyway, prayers for him to recover quickly. I’ve got a funny feeling some one is going to critize this postings but that is my feelings and that is also why I kept the comments closed on the scanner scoop. Hopefully, one will read this and understand my ’style’ of writing and it doesn’t come off as it would if I were speaking to you.
Regarding the motorcycle death in Menifee Co., a few days ago….the mother of a person directly involved told me today that there were 2 groups of riders for this benefit and someone told one of the riders in the first group that his father needed him. They didn’t tell him his father was killed. He turned around on his motorcycle and headed back and he got killed also. I am only repeating what she told him and as I said it came straight from someone at the scene and that’s all I can tell you, call it heresay, or whatever. It may already been known but I just heard it. If true, that’s so sad.
