Columbia Missourian
“I’m sure it will affect us; I’m just planning on avoiding really busy places like concerts, games or anything like that. I’m sure Columbia is not high up on their list to attack, but I guess it’s better safe than sorry.”
Dusty Werth, working at HyVee in Columbia when he heard news of the attack
“It affects my life because I have several friends in Kuwait right now. I worry for their families, and I hope they’ll come home safely,”
Annette Everhart, 31, movie theatre assistant manager and student
“I honestly don’t think it will affect (life) too much unless they start coming closer to Columbia. It’s scary, but it’s kind of reassuring knowing that we’re in the middle of the United States.”
Rachel Mangum, 18, freshman at Stephens College
