Exciting night in my neighborhood last night! So Last night hubby and I were vegging on the couch, just started watching a recorded Survivor when suddenly there was a rapid fire 8-9 gunshots. We live on a dead end road, few houses, very quiet usually. The dogs went nuts barking and we decided to turn on the police scanner app on the iPad. Hubby said it was firecrackers. I thought no way. So on the scanner we hear the dispatch say that 3 calls came in about gunfire on our little dead end road, so we didn't call. At almost the same time another call came in for a bloody guy who walked into the Bugaboo Creek restaurant down the street. Luckily the 2 were unrelated. We later heard on the scanner the guy was drunk and had a hand injury and they couldn't find his car.
But about 15 mins later, 1... 2... 3....4... 5 cruisers pull onto our road. After 10 mins, 2 left and 3 stayed. I told Hubby maybe we should get their attention and tell them we heard it to, maybe we'll be able to help. So we went outside and stood on the front steps. We see 6 cops on foot in the dark walk down the road, 2 came down our driveway and asked us if we heard anything. So we told them what we heard and they said they would have a look around the neighborhood for awhile. They were gone for a good 45 mins towards the end of the road.
But we never heard anything on the scanner after that, except that they all cleared our road. I guess it was nothing they could find .... but they were pretty stealthy, no flashlights, no headlights, no flashing lights, in their dark uniforms you could barely make them out and if you didn't know you would have never known they were there in your yard checking things out. So weird! That kind of freaks me out. I mean the cops in your yard, fine, but the fact that 6 of them could be sooo quiet and stealthy means that 6 not so good people could be in your yard without you even knowing it also! SCARY!!!!!
