On my way to Williamsburg for our senior trip we noticed an unusual amount of state cops passing us. And we really took notice when someone said they saw swat van pass us. Finally one kid called home to see what was happening and thats when we found out about it. We were actually driving passed it in between the 2 shootings i believe or right after the second.
