Companion and I were were the only witnesses to a guy point blank shooting
another guy a couple times in the chest. He then walked right by us, looked us in the eye, and then got in the getaway car.
This was inner city St Louis. We got taken down to the station to take our statements, but don’t think they ever caught the guy. Most likely gang or bad drug deal related.
The cops acted like it was no big deal, as I’m sure they dealt with similar events regularly.
Scariest part was actually the next few weeks, as everyone knew where us missionaries lived and we were afraid we might be eliminated as the only witnesses. Looking back I can’t believe our mission president didn’t pull out of the area for safety reasons.
The rolling my car was when I was 18, fell asleep on a long drive and flew off the highway going 85 mph. Tracks showed I was airborne about 60 feet before landing and rolling four or five times. Car was totaled, I was completely fine besides being shaken up and feeling stupid.

It appeared I was in an active shooter event in Vegas right after the huge shooting there. It was some kids shooting in

Kay’s Cross. I haven’t heard that mentioned since I was in high school in the 90s. Never went there though.

I don’t scare easy if I’m alone. If my young kids are with me at the Grand Canyon, I clench their wrists as tight as…

You turned off the car and debated whether you should leave or not? That is bad horror movie level decision making. 😀
