So this happened this morning:
Driving my dog to the park to walk, some cruisers flew by me, lights and sirens on. I walked the dog and, driving home over the bridge, saw two cruisers blocking the lane. I went around them, and when I got to the front end of the first one, could see people standing on the bridge, holding onto something that was dangling over the edge. A couple civilians, a couple officers. Then, the thing they were struggling to keep from falling, fell, and the woman standing on the bridge screamed.
I told myself, "Maybe it was a dog who got through the railings and fell."
The officers ran scrambling for the bank of the river, and I pulled my car over to assess whether there was something I could do. I had no access to the area, and the police were running all around, so I drove away.
Another man who was a witness (I assumed) was also walking away, speaking frantically into his phone. I asked him what had just happened, and he yelled angrily at me, "My girlfriend just DIED, that's what happened!" I felt horrible and traumatized by having just witnessed a suicide.
Only... my boss told me a local police officer said it was not a death, but just a police pursuit. And a later news article confirmed that a man had been fleeing from police and had jumped into the river, sustained minor injuries, been checked at the hospital and then arrested.
So, you are asking yourself, "Why did that guy tell you his girlfriend just died!?"
And, I think perhaps he was just being a dick... maybe irritated that he had seen the same traumatic thing I had, and didn't want to talk to a stranger about it.
Maybe he was just a random guy walking down the street, unaware of the bridge scene, whose girlfriend HAD JUST DIED. And a complete stranger drove up to him and parked her car and ASKED HIM WHAT HAD JUST HAPPENED!
Anyway, morning rating: 3/10 Did not enjoy. Too much drama.
