As many people might have heard... There was a shooting in Alphen aan de Rijn in the Netherlands were I live.
It's almost a week ago and I think now is the time for me to talk about it.
It happend in a mall on a saturday afternoon. The day us Dutch people go out and have fun and go shopping.
I live close, heard and saw almost everything, luckily nobody I know got injured or killed, but people died and people got injured. A friend of mine her friend's gramda was one of the victims who isn't with us anymore.
It makes me feel so awfully small, so scared. It always happens over there you know, and now almost in my own backyard. We got evacuated because the shooter left notes that said he planted explosions in several malls. Luckily he didn't.
The shooter took 8 lives and injured seventeen people. The people who died are all over 40, but the injured were mostly younger people. The shooter took his own life after his horrible deed.
If you have time, pray for the people who lost their family, pray for us, the people who heard and saw everything but couldn't do anything. Pray for the fact that this NEVER has to happen again... EVER! Not in the Netherlands, not in America, not in Asia, not anyware.
Also a word to people who treated me badly the past couple of days:
Yes I have been down and edgy but can you blame me?
