FIRST PERSON/OPINION Via e-mail: As you know bad news travels fast, unfortunately my brother Fred knew about the news over the TV in San Francisco CA where he is at before I was able to call him. Some of you have contact me already because bad news travels fast. Last Friday at about 11:30 a.m. I was involved in an assault against myself and I was shoot against me a few time thank God I came unhurt out of the deal. But I had to defend myself and I ended up killing the two suspects that tried to steal the money from my payroll and kill me to get it. Thank God I am OK and still alive, had to take my family out of the country and the next few weeks my life will be in a great danger because of all the threats that I have received. I wanted for all of you to hear about the news from me and not through some other source like my brother did. Hope I can get to see all of you soon throughout the time.
