Oh shit, I just heard gunfire

[Pierre.Suave]

seriously.

[Deja Q]

1. Oh shi*...

:(

Call the police, pronto...

[Pierre.Suave]

3. I did

they said they had a few other reports as well.

No way to tell what direction it came from for sure though due to echos off of buildings.

[mnhtnbb]

2. Absolutely call 911 NOW

[Pierre.Suave]

4. Done

[Capn Sunshine]

5. Isn't it rabbit season?

[Pierre.Suave]

6. maybe

but not in town.

[jeff30997]

18. No,it's duck season!

[Oldtimeralso]

50. That Picture Quacks Me Up n/t

[jeff30997]

51. Lol! Me too.

Funny cartoon.:)

[Orrex]

7. Are you sure?

I mean, DuStrange had Mexican for lunch.

[Deja Q]

8. His rump is not a weapon!

Well, in theory...

:hide:

[Pierre.Suave]

9. All humor aside

I am positive.

[Orrex]

27. How close was it to you?

[Pierre.Suave]

43. I am guessing

maybe a block or two.

[Dr. Strange]

28. True, but he said gunfire...

not chemical warfare.

[Pierre.Suave]

48. HAHA

Yet one more reason to not go to ND...

[mnhtnbb]

10. Will the cops drive your neighborhood? I live in Chapel Hill, NC

where the student body president of UNC was kidnapped last March, driven around to ATM's for cash withdrawal, and then murdered about 100 yards from our house at 4:30 in the morning. One of our neighbors heard the gunfire (I was out of town)and called 911. The police found her body by driving in the area shots were heard--she had been shot multiple times and was already dead.

Hubby slept right through it.

[Pierre.Suave]

11. They are driving around now

they just drove through the alley behind my apartment.

[mnhtnbb]

13. That's pretty quick response. Good for them.

[Pierre.Suave]

16. the 911 operator said

she had a few other reports as well, so I am sure that played a part in their response.

[Pharlo]

12. I've been hearing gunfire all weekend.......

......But then I live in rural Wisconsin and deer hunting season opened yesterday. So, I just ignore it. The Damn Mutts, however, are under daylight hours house arrest - which they do NOT appreciate, but I don't care. I do not want them out running through the fields chasing rabbits for the next 10 days.

[Pierre.Suave]

14. Sorry man

that sucks.

But I sure hope no one is deer hunting in Uptown Minneapolis.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

15. Stay safe k

:pals:

[Pierre.Suave]

17. i am safe

locked and loaded...

[applegrove]

19. I thought I heard gun fire but it was a transformer box exploding.

[Pierre.Suave]

20. I have heard that before

much louder than gunfire.

[applegrove]

21. I've only ever heard gun fire from a distance...as in being at the cottage when some hunters

are deep in the woods. It echos all around the lake. But never been up close to gunfire. Hope all is okay.

[Deja Q]

22. Often by a squirrel running up into it...

and often surviving to tell the tale. "Oi, Dale, there's a party up there! Wanna come up with me?"

[applegrove]

25. Oh you!.. LOL

[backscatter712]

23. Yikes. Hope you're safe.

At my apartment building, we do have car break-ins, and the occasional high drama from some domestic violence incident, but no open firefights so far...

[Pierre.Suave]

24. I am safe

I dont think it was close enough to be here at this building, but maybe down the block a bit.

[Danger Mouse]

26. I hear gunfire too sometimes. Of course, I live in country, so it's not uncommon.

Sadly, if somebody's brains were being blown out in some field, I wouldn't know it. I'd just assume somebody was shooting a deer or something.

[quakerboy]

29. So is it better or worse to not know where it came from?

About a year back, I went to our local 7-11, up the street from home, at 3 am. I don't do that anymore. One side of the door had a group of about 10 teens, and the other side had a group of about 20. I went in, and moments later, 3 came in yelling that their friend had been maced and they needed water. About 2 minutes after that came 2 gunshots. Everyone disappeared but quick.

And thats why I love 7-11. how about you

[Pierre.Suave]

30. I would say it is better to know where it is coming from.

Then at least you know in which direction to duck...

As for the rest of it...

that is why I dont go to certain areas of town after dark around here.

Even though we dont have a 7-11 here anywhere, I still can see that happening.

[KitchenWitch]

31. in Uptown?

I always thought Uptown was fairly safe? Has that changed?

Be safe.

[Pierre.Suave]

34. No place is ever safe...

some are just less safe than others.

[KitchenWitch]

37. true.

I love Uptown.

[Pierre.Suave]

39. Me too

I am close to the border of uptown and the seedier part of South Minneapolis.

It is generally safe here, but anything can happen anywhere.

[cwydro]

45. Hmmm, Norm Coleman find out he lost?

Recount over?

[Pierre.Suave]

47. ROFL

Sadly, I am no longer his neighbor...So I would not be able to hear that if it happened.

[cwydro]

32. Palin in your town?

[Pierre.Suave]

36. ROFL

god I hope not...

[UndertheOcean]

33. be safe , and call 911

[Pierre.Suave]

35. Done hours ago

but thanks.

[UndertheOcean]

38. So did they find out the source of the gunfire ?

[Pierre.Suave]

40. If they did

they forgot to tell me, bastards...

[UndertheOcean]

41. Can't you just call them and inquire , they did give you a case number ?

[Pierre.Suave]

42. nope

they were not shooting at me.

[UndertheOcean]

44. I hate it when police act like crime in your neighborhood is none of your bussiness

[Pierre.Suave]

46. I agree

I would very much like to know what happened, or if they know anything at all...

[Rhythm]

49. Norm Coleman cracked up?

Could happen... :shrug:
