Shooting in Warkworth (4 December)

**Mom** · 4th December 2009, 15:56

Some of you will have heard the news reports that a woman has been shot dead in Warkworth this afternoon. It is not me, and thankfully is not my daughter, it is however my neighbour.

I have a street full of cop cars at the moment, and crime tape along the front of the house next door. Already had my first visit from the media.

What a friggen horrible thing, a young couple with a baby girl that has just started walking. Her mother is dead and her father in custody. I feel sick!

Man, you might need some councilling and talking to your daughter is not an envious job. I thought of you when I saw that news earlier.

Male anger and jealousy can be horrendous. Malevolent

I heard a snippet on the radio news earlier today. I did think to txt you, but then if you didn't reply...?
Sorry to hear it happened so close to you. Must be 'orrible.

I feel for you and all the neighbours.

Not a nice thing to have happened to anyone, and that poor child, now growing up without her mum.

Just another sad story in this world. My thoughts are with you all

Amazing that when you hear news like this, the first thing you think is do I know them.

Where the hell is Warkworth anyway ?

I have a friend who was going to see her ex in Warkworth today, and I confess my first thoughts were that he might have flipped out for whatever reason. Glad it's not her, sad for the actual victims.
