"Teen in critical condition after shooting at UPS in Jackson"
News Story Here
UPS goes out of their way to promote safety in and out of their buildings, pushing health and responsible behavior. It's hard to imagine someone being shot as they walked out to their car at the end of a shift. UPS is a weapon-free zone and should be expected to be safe.
I feel so horrible for this kid. Nobody expects to be winding up in critical condition when all you were doing was going out to your car at the end of the day.
I know this blog doesn't have a very wide reach, but could you all please pass this around and see if we can get any witnesses to step forward?
Remember: after dark, make sure to take precautions to protect yourself from assaults. Have your keys out and ready before you leave your destination. I like to have the key ring looped around a finger so I can't drop them, with the car key sticking out between fingers to gouge eyes in case I'm ever jumped. Stay in groups. If you are uncomfortable, have someone walk you out to your car. Check the back seat for intruders before getting in, same with hatchbacks.
The above tips won't prevent a parking lot shooting, but they can help keep you safe.
Best wishes and a speedy recovery to the young man in the story. Bless you, bro.
