I realize my story is minor compared to the victims and families. But I can remember just getting up and my supervisor called me to turn on the television (I am a 911/police and fire dispatcher). It was as if I were watching an action movie. I could not believe it. I woke my husband up, cancelled my doctors appointment and sit by the television all day and night. I can almost compare it to the death of John Kennedy. But this was thousands of times worse. My head was spinning and the fear I felt almost took my breath away. Then the tears came and I must have cried all day. I want everyone to know that all of us are one and that when some part of our nation is destroyed then it takes a piece of our hearts. We are all victims of these senseless murders and should not rest until those responsible are brought to justice. Wanda Williams, Clayton County 911
