Frustrated by the City’s lack of communication

Discussion

As a Providence resident that lives than 10 minutes from the East Side, I am completely floored by the City’s complete lack of information. To our current knowledge, there is an active shooter on the loose yet we have heard nothing as residents. Are we on lock down? Should people who have non-essential early AM jobs in the City not be working tomorrow? Why are we not treating this like a full scale manhunt the way the Boston Marathon Bombing was???? My only source of information on any of this all night has been from Brown, social media and word of mouth from friends also in the City. Beyond disappointing in the Smiley administration’s response to this tragedy.
