I went to Sudsy at around 11:30 or so to do some work and discovered I had left the key in the pocket of the pants I was wearing yesterday. I drove back home, parked, and went upstairs to have a bite to eat since I was hungry.
Sometime later, I heard a big commotion on the street below. Screaming, shouting, lots of noise. I didn’t think much of it because occasionally there is a lot of yelling on the street. I live in a old apartment building at the corner of NW Hoyt and NW 23rd. Sometimes a mentally disturbed person will start shouting – we’re used to it.
A little while after that I come outside to drive to Sudsy and there’s a police line – cops everywhere, news cameras. What the heck??
Right now only kgw.com has any information, but there was a stabbing outside the Ram’s Head, a McMenamin’s restaurant that is located in the first floor of my apartment building. All that screaming was the wife of the victim. I’m just completely shocked. I live on the fourth floor, right above the street where the stabbing happened. The assailant got away. I’m just verklempt about the whole thing.
Ack! That’s way too close to home! (I’m glad you missed the excitement downstairs, though!)
