    My husband had just missed it then as my son trains at Gymnastics Olympica which is in VN by the Budweiser plant. They leave the gym each night by 8:00 and get on the 405 at Roscoe to come home. They were home last night by 8:25. Glad they missed it But how truly sad! Thoughts going to her friends and family.
