I Can't Help But Wonder

This isn't what I had planned to post tonight but it's something I can't ignore.  On the way home from church tonight, as we got closer to The Compound, we could see the LMPD helicopter circling around the area below The Compound most commonly referred to as The Boat Docks.  The official name is Riverview Park.  We all three joked about them looking for us.  We travelled on and as we stopped at the intersection above The Compound, we had to wait for an EMS ambulance to come through; it was coming up from Riverview Park.  Several police cruisers were in front of us as we were waiting for EMS to turn, and we couldn't help but wonder what had happened. 

I pulled into the driveway and stopped, and watched to see if the LMPD cars went on down to Riverview Park, and they did.  And we continued to see the LMPD helicopter flying down in that area.  Once again, we couldn't help but wonder what happened.


It could have been a number of things -- most of them bad.  There could have been a fight; there could have been a horrible boating or swimming accident.  Unless there's something on the 11:00 news tonight or in the newspaper tomorrow, we'll probably never know.  But something did happen.  And it wasn't good.  We all three stopped and said a silent prayer for whoever was involved in what happened. That's about all we could do.
