I think everyone has covered all of the bases. But quite frankly I think you should be cautious, sure, but its not much different to how you should act the rest of the time. Honestly, just because that person has been announced doesn't mean there aren't others around all of the time. I'm not trying to scare anyone, just the reality that we live in nowadays.

precisely, boy we must be on the same wave-length today 

hopefully that doesnt mean when i go to bed in a few minutes that youll fall asleep

And Rule number one, trust your gut, if he looks dangerous most likly he is so steer clear and theres safety in numbers

in saying that, if he/she/it doesnt look dangerous, it may still be

also dont be all scared, be cautious sure, but there are always gonna be criminals, whether in your neighbourhood, your district or your town, depending on the crime they commit, and their mental state, you arent all that likely to be the victim

also if they know the cops are after them then they arent likely to take the time to kill you unless you give them reason, theyre most likely gonna wanna leave and fast

2. Don't talk to strangers.

3. If you see any suspicious activity around your house. (Someone looking the window etc.) Tell your parents

4. Don't go into secluded places.

5. Don't answer unknown telephone calls.
