Update on the gun battle

  We've been learning a little bit more about what the gun fight was about the other night.  A group of seven Indi-Pakistanis were trying to abduct a guy and hold him for ransom.  They followed him to our Gastros and attempted to kidnap him there.  The two guards up the street at the police station who stand at their gate with AK47s noticed what was going on -- and that's when the 'fun' started.
  Our guard, Feete, said that one of the gang was standing in the driveway to our complex shooting up the street - that's why it sounded like like they were right in our parking lot.  Our apartment is the first one as you come  into our complex.  That is also where he died, right in our driveway!  Another one was shot just across the street from us.
  Three of the seven were shot and killed here and the other four ran away.  The police chased them down our street and all the way down into Analamahitsy.  They got away; but I don't think they will be coming back to this neighborhood.  I'm sure they didn't plan on all the police and guns in this neighborhood.

That's our car on the left, just inside our gate.  The Humanitarian couple, the Richards, live on the right.
