Aw, memories of my 20 years in NYC.

 

Naw, I meant actual cats at actual bodega, y'know-- guarding our precious bodily fluids..

The sun hadn’t yet risen when the gunshot rang out. A single shot, fired from inside a three-bedroom home in suburban Indianapolis on Wednesday, pierced the front door and fatally struck a house cleaner who had arrived at the porch moments earlier with her husband.

The police in Whitestown, Ind., the small but growing town where the shooting took place, said that two residents had been inside the home that morning when the cleaners arrived. The residents believed their home was possibly being broken into and called 911. In the five minutes between the call and when the police arrived, one of the residents fired from inside the home and struck the woman in the head, officials said.

Detectives are now trying to track down exactly what happened, and prosecutors are preparing to review whether to file charges.

The woman who was killed, María Florinda Ríos Pérez de Velásquez, 32, was a mother of four children and had immigrated with her husband to the United States from Guatemala about three years ago, according to her brother, Rudy Ríos Pérez.​

​

Yeah, the irony of the suburb's name is excruciating.

Yeah, a bit 'on the nose', as they say.

 

Hey, in addition to Whitestown we also have Whiteland and Knightstown nearby.

 

There's a city in Tarrant County, just outside Ft. Worth, named White Settlement, TX.

There's also a town about 40 miles due west of Lubbock that's named Whiteface, TX.
