There's a manhunt going on right now for people who opened fire on a Synagogue right around the corner from Jazzland.

It's eerie looking at pictures of armored vehicles on streets I walked last year. I wandered around that Synagogue one day I was there.

I just talked to @Clerasil ToB. He is OK. The police searched Jazzland while he was there, which was apparently an interesting experience.

Nothing I wish anyone to experience. They haven't searched Jazzland itself, we've locked us in when the shooting started. One of those motherfuckers tried to get into the club, but gladly he was too stupid to shoot his way through. We have been in contact with the police all the time, asking them after 4 hours locked in if it's ok to open the door to the garage for fresh air...that's when they saw me standing there from the outside, aiming me with their ak's and told me to step forward...slowly. The truth is they acted perfectly, after explaining the situation in the club and the situation of my mother they tried everything they could (they've even discussed a chopper to get her out for a short time...). So yes everything's alright, but the shock is severe...

Please give your mom a hug from me the next time you see her.

Unreal. :( Thanks for taking the time to update us. Is your mother OK?? (I seem to have missed something there -- but please ignore, if it's personal.) All the best for everyone involved! :cross:
(To try to lighten the mood: yes, fresh air can be an important prerequisite at Jazzland :P -- but remembering that, from even the heart of summer, brings back some vivid and very fond memories!! 8) Thanks again for that, to you and all the family and others involved. :cheersL: )
