I've had the "what the hell is beeping" problem frequently! Once or twice it was coming from the backyard and turned out to be a bird.

That "your daughter almost certainly died immediately of sheer terror" is one of those classics I never want to read again. They can do surprisingly effective horror!

fully agree on that column. Wonderfully horrific but not an article I'll go back to again and again.

I moved to the Twin Cities in summer of 1995 shortly after a shooting at Camp Snoopy. Residents were eager to share the new nicknames for the park including “Camp Sniper” and “Camp Shoot Me”

OK, "Camp Shoot Me" is pretty solid. Also, apparently the Mall of America had a lot of stabbings! https://www.twincities.com/2007/05/05/previous-mall-incidents/
