Man shot outside of my rental last night, now what?

My tenant texted me what seemed like immediately following her call to 911. A man was shot outside of one of our buildings last night. It’s a “safe” neighborhood, gun violence or a shooting like this would be the last thing I’d ever expect, but crazy **** happens everyday.

How have landlords handled situations like this in the past?

I asked if my tenants needed anything from me, the answer was no.

I literally met with the incoming students planning to take over the unit in when the current students graduate this May. I am assuming the news will be shared and the students will think twice about living there. Just when I thought corona virus wasn’t going to stop me from renting the unit, this.

There is nothing you need to do.  Do you have the deposit from the income tenants, yet?
