I made it out of the grocery a little nervous, but alive.

I went to the Kroger grocery that is within a mile of my home tonight. The parking lot was much lighter than usual, and I got a great space easily.

Then I stepped out of the car and noticed that vans from all three of the major news channels for Nashville were set up in the parking lot.

Another customer driving by stopped and asked if I was wanting to know what was going on. Being indecisive about whether I should enter the store, I said I really did.

Seems that within that hour, a man tried to snatch a woman's purse inside the store while she shopped. Another man tried to help her, and was stabbed for his effort.

So, a warning to everyone: Keep an eye and a hand on your handbag while you are shopping. Make it seem less easy for a mugger to take your purse easily and perhaps it will make them hesitant to try. If they are reluctant to try, the less chance you or someone else will be injured.

Everyone please stay vigilant, safe and happy. God bless you all.
