never a dull moment. . .

okay, so i was about to go home for lunch, when i see the road is blocked by cop cars, and an ambulance is pulling up.

"Hmm, i wonder if there was an accident at the gas station on the corner." come back in, fire up the web browser, and the phone rings. it's our erstwhile accounting woman, who is a news maven, calling to make sure everyone's OK.

apparently the bank next door was robbed, and someone was shot.

it seems that i type loud enough to drown out -gunfire-. [k, i am sorry i keep you up with my qwerty bangings late at night. yeeesh]

so, i'll be chilling here until they open the road and i can actually leave the parking lot.

[edit: home for lunch now. seems the extra helping of hubbub was because the people shot were one of the perps, and one of the cops acting as security. cop shot in chest = massive police response.]

[2nd edit: d'oh. ]

gunshots...

[smaugchow.livejournal.com]

It is surprising how quiet gunshots are when you ar eotherwise engaged. Over the sounds of a busy office, I can easily understand missing shots from another building. I barely heard my neighbor blasting a way at his sister-in-law (a cop) and her return fire on a quiet night in a Leave-it-to-Beaver neighborhood. Well, a delinquent redneck Beaver.

And yes, cop shot = MASSIVE response. My cul-de-suck was PACKED with emergency vehicles. I'm surprised they didn't slaughter some neighborhood dogs and have a cook-out.
