Safe in NH

Just a quick update to say that things have settled down a bit.. check out Mom's blog for all the details. Yesterday a man gunned down three men in a store across the street from our campground and then fled the scene, supposedly a botched robbery. Police were in the campground all day, as they suspected he might attempt to run or hide in the nearby woods or Saco River. As of last night, he was still at large.. needless to say it was a long night. Today they caught him and arrested him in nearby Fryeburg, Maine. He was guy previously charged with armed robbery and arson in several other states. The manager of the store was killed along with two young guy customers, both from MA.. one was from Plymouth.

Although our sense of safety on vacation in North Conway has been mostly restored with the arrest, our prayers go out to all the families connected in this senseless tragedy...

Oh my goodness, that is crazy. I am glad that you and your family are alright, though. Last year, we were up in Fryeburg (I think I told you that), on the Saco. Anyway, that is very sad.
