It’s hard to believe I’m posting about crime yet again, but here goes. I was working at home today when I got an email from Lana, who always has her finger on the pulse of local events, news, hot sales, and networking opportunities. It was a link to a news story about some of the Framingham schools being in “lockdown” because a suicidal maniac was on the loose in the neighborhood. Of course I went right to the window to see if the suicidal maniac was hanging out at my picnic table, but no such luck. In actuality, I think it was more like a drunk guy threatening his wife with suicide and ending up as the center of a manhunt, but it was still scary. I could hear the police cars speeding by and the helicopters hovering overhead. He was last seen about 2 miles from our house, and a 2-minute walk from Adlani’s school. I emailed the director and she said everything was fine…the kids were kept inside and there were police on the school grounds. At the end of the school day it got a little crazy because the schools didn’t want to send kids home on the bus to the area where the police were searching for the guy. They eventually found him and took him into custody. Phew.
.
As of noon, the guy was last seen on Joseph Road and was found somewhere in the area. Adlani’s school is the large building on Joyce Lundberg Drive. Way too close for comfort.
