Shooting rampage the latest being in Los Angeles Airport, what happens to the elderly and senior citizens caught in this dilemma?

In earlier blogs, this Elderly has brought up her frustrations of what the world seems to be undergoing - with all the violence and environmental disasters.  Then today, at a time when the world is celebrating All Souls Day - November 2, CNN Center gives its breaking news about a gunman who went on a shooting spree in a Los Angeles airport (LAX). This makes us frown with surprise how the gunman evaded all security officers.

One photo showed the passengers inside the airport running to and fro or about anywhere for as long as they are far from where the chaos is. This elderly could not help but feel for the senior citizens and the differently-abled.  Do watch CNN Network to see the chaos.
All the aforementioned sends waves of fear in my spine thinking of the elderly and senior citizens who have to be left behind or plunged into panic. Definitely something more proactive can be done about this scenario. With all the trials that confront each of us, more preventive measures are expected and recommended.

In the meantime fellow senior citizens, let us do our tasks ourselves. Let us wear sturdy flat shoes and travel light for our preliminary protection. Make it a point to be more vigilant. While the young may go about the day as happy-go-lucky as can be, it is incumbent upon the senior citizens to stay alert. Look around to size up the surroundings. Sometimes it is because of our age that we have this intuition to feel and sense danger before it happens.
Take care guys and gals!
