It was a beautiful Saturday a couple of days ago from today. On my way home to take a quick break, I happened to pass by Bachman Station. It’s a stop for the Green Line and Orange Line DART rail trains and buses near Harry Hines and Northwest Highway.
It’s a hotspot for criminal activity and is well known for being a dangerous station along the way to the DFW Airport on the Orange Line and towards the city of Carrollton on the Green Line.
I’d asked one of the officers if someone had gotten hurt. He replied, telling me that it was a crime scene. I then asked if someone had been killed? He repeated that it was a crime scene. I told him that I understood, thanked him, and went on my way.
Seeing the detectives in plain clothes and the unmarked cars along with the police cars and yellow tape, I had an idea of what had happened.
I checked the internet, and my suspicion was confirmed. Again, someone was shot and killed at Bachman Station.
I’ve used that station and have passed through it on more occasions than I could even try and remember. I’ve seen a lot.
Sometimes Dallas can be a madhouse. I’ve nicknamed it Gotham City because it reminds me of how wild it is in Batman’s world.
I must continue to remind myself to be careful and to always be completely aware of my surroundings at all times.
