I recently read that a UGA professor killed 3 students. However, the information was micommunicated because a few days later the "real" story was revealed. The professor gunned down his ex-wife and two men outside a theater near campus Saturday and fled in his Jeep after dropping off his children with a neighbor, police said. With all of the murders that have happened in the past at colleges and schools, this is going to be a huge crisis for UGA. The prodromes should have enabled them to be prepared for something like this. Though you could not have expected this from the professor who was described as quiet, introverted and a well-respected marketing professor at the university in Athens, crime on university grounds is not uncommon. I am looking forward to seeing what UGA does to deal with this incident. As far as I know they have no released any statements concerning this. Hopefully, they will put their crisis communication plan into effect ASAP.

Did anyone hear about those 4 pro football players who were out on their boat fishing newar Florida and disappeared? Well offcials searched for them for over a week and found one of them clinging to the rocks. He said they had a boat wreck and was unaware of what happened to the other players. After more time passed the coast guard called off the search. So three players are pronounced dead. I am not sure which teams they are from. I just heard about this so I am sure this is a terrible tradegy to be gone unheard of. Im sure the families of the players did not want media attention. They did a good job of containing this crisis.

So yesterday I read about the incident on sunday morning in the George Anne newspaper. Apparently the Statesboro Police did not arrest anyone because people were fleeing the scene. However, they did come up with two suspects but are still investigating. Also, the police said they found bags of marijuana in the hallway of the apartment complex. All in all this was a contained crisis. Like I previously mentioned, no one knew about this unless they were first hand witnesses. And the "still investigating" comment seemed to be used to avoid further questions from journalists or other media.

So this past Saturday night my friends and I were walking to a party in Universiyt Pines, after realizing is wasn't much of a party we decided to walk home. ON our way home we passed a party that had been goin on in Cambridge. We noticed commotion and people running. The next thing we heard was a "pop"! Yes, a gun was fired. We ran across the street back to my house scared and watching police car after police car arrive on the scene. So now a few days later no one has heard of this incident, except for the people that were there. Statesboro Police have contained this incident very well. I am not sure if Cambridge Apts. put out a statement to the residents but I am waiting to hear more.

Why does it always seem that you get a ton of work to do all at the same time!?
