What we’ve been reporting on over the past few days has put everyone on edge, and this story serves as a reminder that’s important to remember: If your life, home or business isn’t being targeted, don’t get involved. Don’t try to be a hero. If you see something, call police to report it.
Outside of that, these opportunistic people will continue to do what they’re doing until control can be restored.
Until then, stay safe and don’t enter these areas of conflict.
