I am so sorry to hear about this tragic incident. In times like these, it is important to prioritize personal safety. I would highly recommend considering investing in personal safety devices such as a self-defense keychain or a personal alarm. These small and discreet products can provide an added sense of security and can be easily carried with you at all times. Stay safe everyone!
