I just found out that a teacher I used to have back in high school was the sole murder victim of a guy who shot up a local mall.
It's kind of fucking surreal knowing that a guy you've known randomly got murdered and is dead, gone.
Anyone else have something similar like this happen? Where someone you've known is gone, death or something else.

When I was 11 or 12 my family was driving home from dinner and we pulled into our neighborhood and the entire area was surrounded by cop cars and helicopters and everything was shut down. We lived in a very nice, old neighborhood where the crime rate was essentially 0% so this was very out of the ordinary.
Turns out my fellow 11 year old neighbor and friend was stabbed to death along with his babysitter by the babysitter's ex boyfriend. They found him in the hiding in the closet with 10 stab wounds, his N64 was still on pause. Watching the body bag get wheeled out of the house was the most surreal I've ever experienced and 15 years later I still remember that night clear as day. I've been in the military for a while now and have seen death and violence from combat but nothing will ever hit me as hard as that night.

It fucked me up pretty bad. I didn't play any shooting games or anything for a while because it made me feel sick to the stomach that even though it was just a game I realized for the first time what death really was
