Right now, the police are surrounding my house! No joke!

OMG!
My neighbor two doors down has a psycho ex-boyfriend who has been threatening her for weeks. A couple of weeks ago, he killed her cat. Last week, he set her car on fire in her driveway. The police have been a steady presence in the neighborhood since and I have been extremely careful not to let my daughters outside without my direct supervision.
This morning, I heard sirens and walked outside to see what was going on. There were police in my yard who yelled at me to get in the house, lock the door and close the blinds. My girls can't go to school, as we're all barricaded in the house. Tom left for work right before the police got to my house. I wish he were here. He's trying to get home, but the roads are all blocked, which is best, really. I don't want him driving into a bunch of gunfire.
We've heard gunshots in the last few minutes and the police just knocked on the door and told me the guy was on the loose, armed and dangerous. I have to be prepared to evacuate at any minute if the police ask me to. I feel pretty safe, as there are at least five policemen with guns drawn in my front yard right now, two of whom are taking cover behind my minivan. There are dozens more policemen down the street.
There's nothing to do but wait. I just put a load of laundry in the wash and am trying to keep things as normal as possible for my daughters, so they won't be scared. I'm sure we'll all be just fine, but I'm very worried for my neighbor.
