One Unusual Thing That Happened to Me

One unusual thing that had happened to me last weekend was that there was a hostage situation down the street from my house. There was a man holding his wife and 8 year old grandson hostage. The man barricaded himself in the house with guns. My mother's friend had told me that her friend's husband had been called in that night for the hostage negotiation. My mother was friends with the wife and her husband, we also knew their grandson. There were around 20 police cars at the situation and our street was blocaded off. Nobody was allowed in or out of 11th Street. My mom did not know this and tried to go to the store, she was allowed to leave and come back though. Another friend of my mother, who lives next to the people, was told that she had to leave her house until the situation was contained. We are still unsure of what the man's motive was, but I believe that it should have never happened.
