The Spanish Gunman

Ah, I need to talk about yesterday's scoop!

I woke up from my quick nap at 8AM, then getting ready for Campus for revision.
I thought it would be more effective to study at campus in the last minute before the exam.
So I left home just before 10AM, making me arrive Flinders Street Station a little bit after ten.
My train is the 10:08 Pakenham train, I've got enough time to go to toilet first.
I realised that the train is already arrived on the platform, so I rushed a bit and find myself a good spot in the train.

10:10
There is some kind of announcement from Metro (the train provider) that the train has been delayed due to 'Police Operation' at Richmond Station.
"Ok....?" that's what I was thinking as soon as I heard the announcement.
I waited patiently while reading my tutorial questions and answers, occasionally sipping my teh kotak which I had prepared from home.

10:28
My 'teh kotak' was finished, I saw the time, and similar announcement has been repeated for several times now.
I saw some people are getting impatient, especially a young woman who kept on calling someone notifying the situation every time the announcement was broadcasted.
Then several people started to leave their seat, especially after seeing a Metro officer walking around the platform.
All of them are very curious about the situation and started asking the officer questions one-by-one.
My curiousity built up as I started to get impatient as well, so I decided to join in their conversation.
The officer said that Richmond station has been shut by the police, and he was not well-informed either regarding the situation. He explained that it can take as fast as 10 minutes if there were only minor case, but it might take hours in case of serious situations.

10:40
So I decided to leave Flinders Street Station, giving up o trains, I started to put my hope on trams.
Before I go to the tram stop, I bought a regular triple-shot soy latte from Coffeee HQ, I found out that this kind of coffee will help you stay fresh the whole day.

11:00
The tram arrived, I jumped in to tram number 3 to Malvern East, which will pass Caulfield Station, my destination.
This tram pass through Saint Kilda Road, Nepean Highway, Balaclava Road, Caulfield Park, then Caulfield Station.
It is quite a long journey, and while I was waiting in the tram, I tweeted a lot informing my friends about the situation.
We exchanged a lot of information there.
I'm quite lucky having this Blackberry, I was holding myself for 30 minutes before I can actually go to the toilet at Caulfield.

11.45
At last I reached Caulfield, I rushed to Caulfield plaza for a toilet stop.
Then went to Coles to buy a bottle of drinking water.
I went to Building K to study where I met a friend and we chatted a bit, I told him a little bit abour what's been happening in the city.
I was not quite informed as well at that time, but I decided to warn my friends via facebook, telling that there are 4 gunmen.
Not even 5 minutes passed and my friend replied to my status, then suddenly he posted an article, which I share ASAP hoping that people will be informed regarding the case.
Here's the link for the article:
http://www.smh.com.au/victoria/teen-gun-suspect-extremely-dangerous-police-20100621-ypz8.html
Well, the article has been updated since the first time I checked it.
And I also posted another link for a similar article form different source:
http://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/1283382/Gunman-on-loose-in-Melbourne

He's still currently free roaming around Melbourne.
Police are still chasing after him and if there's any suspicions, residents are urged to contact crime stoppers.

Oh by they way, my warning status on facebook has been copied by some of my friends, haha.....

Anyway, that was the news of the day! :)
