Police Officer

Geographically, it was just down the street from Brooks Insurance.

That would be completely normal in a shock situation like that. There is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all when you're talking about trauma, because to be able to process that would take some time. They're moving slow. They can't think. So I make nothing of that behavior.
