Every parent's worst nightmare: July 20,2012,my phone rings at 4:30 in the morning.
It's my son Alex's girlfriend,Amanda,saying hysterically,"Tom,Tom,there's been a shooting, and they dragged me out of the theater.
They wouldn't let me stay.
I wanted to ,but they dragged me out."I say to Amanda,"Amanda, are you OK?
Have you been hurt?"And she said no,that she was fine, that Alex had saved her life.
I then say,"Amanda,where's Alex?"And she says,sobbing,"I don't know, we can't find him.
They dragged me out of the theater.
They made me leave.
He was shot.
I tried to wake him up,but I couldn't wake him up.
