Two days ago there was an attack outside Commonwealth Stadium in my hometown of Edmonton, Alberta. A police officer was ran down and stabbed multiple times(but survived), then the suspect drove down 4 others in a U-haul truck in what's being called a terrorist attack. I never thought that it would come to my home but it has.
Then last night there was a mass shooting in Las Vegas, the worst in US history, 50 killed and over 200 injured during a country music concert and the death toll is expected to rise.

My deepest condolences and sympathies go out to the victims and their families of these senseless attacks both here in Edmonton and in Vegas.
I had thought that my home country was safe from these kinds of incidents, let alone my city but now that it's happened, I'm stunned, shocked and a bit nervous. I just hope that the suspect is met with swift justice and that the families of the murdered in Vegas are able to cope with the immense loss.
