Life in SALINAS

Let me post you some links from just this past week of things that were on the news just for SALINAS not necessarily things going on in towns near, then I will go on with my rant:

OK so this is all just since Sunday the 28th. I chose to highlight one for you(I HOPE YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE THE LINKS).
The one I highlighted was an attempted homicide. This is the street NEXT to mine, the ONLY thing that separates the two streets is an empty lot that we play with my son in and a very small motel that is frequented by drug dealers/addicts and prostitutes. We live right off of north main street and the freeway off ramp.
My son had been in bed for a while, I was just starting to fall asleep and my boyfriend was asleep. I heard sirens but they had been going off all evening. I heard a siren and then skidding and then lights were blinding me while I was in bed. I jumped up and was praying they weren't having another high speed chase. Oh I was wrong it was WORSE. By the time I had jumped up the street was already COVERED by the whole freaking Salinas Police force.They proceeded to block off the freeway offramp and redirect cars to turn around and go the other way(down a one way street) to get away from the crime scene. We watched for a good hour through the windows, behind our locked doors and windows with the alarm system on, that's a whole other story! We watched the police search our street and backyards and watched as 3 ambulance came down the road. Turns out it was 3 people shot, one was a 4 month  pregnant woman. I know OF the people who were shot and they do run with a gang affiliates so as of now I'm not surprised it happened. I couldn't sleep AT ALL that night, thankfully I didn't work the next morning. I was a MESS! I was crying off and on and finally asked my boyfriend can we just move back to your parents house(in a different town that has had 1 shooting in the last 10 years. Anyway the shooting I wrote about a month or so ago that my son and I witnessed was a tough call and I wanted to move. THIS one was the deal breaker! We gave our 30 days notice and will be moving back in with my in-laws by Dec 1st.
I feel so anxious!!!! I am 8 months pregnant, we have finals coming up, I HAVE to move, my dog will have to be an outside dog=[& the drive is over an hour to work both ways.
Trying to stay positive though! It will help with saving money, my son will be able to see his grandparents more, my new baby will be able to know his grandparents like Ethan does, and I will have more help available to me,
