... like what's going on with all these police shootings? Every time it happens, we're left wondering what led up to it and how we can prevent it in the future 
. I mean, I know the cops have a tough job, but that doesn't make it okay when things escalate like this. We need more transparency and accountability from law enforcement, you feel? 
. It's a scary feeling knowing someone you know gets caught up in something like that. I remember when my kids were young, we always talked about what to do if there was ever a situation like this - it's just good to be aware, you know? 
The thing is, police have a tough job and they deserve our respect. But at the same time, it's hard not to wonder what led up to all that gunfire... hoping the investigation gets to the bottom of it 
I was scrolling through my feed and saw the news about the shooting and I'm like totally confused... one minute they're responding to a fire call, next thing you know there are shots fired 
. I feel so bad for whoever got shot... hopefully it's not too serious 
. I mean I don't have all the deets but it just seems really weird that no one has come forward with what happened before the standoff? Like, what was going on beforehand? Did they have a history or something? 
.
2:53... and then BOOM!
like how much info do we really need anyway? i get it, they gotta investigate but come on, the public's right to know too 
just saying
just heard about that shooting in Redwood City 
hope they're gonna be okay ASAP 
can't even right now... police should've handled it better 
need more info on what led up to that standoff 
. anyway, i just hope everyone involved is ok 
but i'll wait for more info from the authorities before sayin anythin else 
They just want some answers. The fact that the police department is being tight-lipped about it doesn't help, you know? It's like, we get it, they need time to figure stuff out, but at the same time, can't we just have a little more info? 
Not sure if the police department is being secretive on purpose, but it's weird that they haven't released any official statement yet. 
I'm also curious about why there were fire department responders at the scene... was there a fire or something? 
Guess we'll just have to wait and see what the investigation turns up... fingers crossed everything is okay for that one person 
the fact that there was a standoff and gunfire is super alarming. i hope the person shot is okay and gets the help they need 
. Can you believe another shooting? It's like we're living in a never-ending nightmare. One person shot by cops, what could've led to it? The fire department showed up for some reason, but who knows what really went down? 
Let's hope this incident leads to some positive changes for everyone involved
