Saturday evening my husband and I were watching TV and we heard what sounded like gunshots. He looked out and but didn't see anything. About 20 minutes later I put the dog out and I could see some police lights at our neighbor's house two doors down. So we walked out to the end of our driveway to see if we could see what was going on and the police officer turned around and went racing to the other end of the street. When we look down there, the whole street was blocked off there was a fire truck, ambulance, rescue vehicle and probably 20 or more police cars, both city and county.
We walked down there, one because we know the 97yo lady who that lives in the house where they were at and two because we're nosy.
There was a dead man laying at the edge of her yard near the street. I was absolutely not prepared to see that.
The only thing that we've seen on the news about it was there was a man shot and killed and it also said there was no information on a suspect or known motive.
Of course the rumors have been flying around our neighborhood but we don't know who or what to believe, if any of it.

Oh how horrible! Was it you that had someone trying to get into your house last summer? I could have the wrong Pea, but I vaguely remember someone posting about it.

Yikes! What a scary situation. So glad y’all are okay. I’m glad your neighbor is, as well!
So sad for the one shot. I hope he wasn’t a bad guy.

That is so scary! Not something you want to see on your own street.

Ugh. Sorry. Makes you a little nervous, doesn't it?
We've had three murders locally this last year. One I'm going to call damn near justified. But since putting multiple towns together and we still have a population under 10,000, that seems like a lot.
There was a shooting near ds's apartment earlier this week. He's 19 and I really wanted to be like, move your ass back home, but I didnt.

I'm so sorry. We have to always remember - it can happen anywhere. When the tool you have been taught about is a firearm many problems will be "settled" by firearm.  |

That must have been a shock, I am sorry. That picture is crazy! Man, I missed the picture because I read the OP and not all of the responses. Anyway, that photo is awful! Some of those guns are pointing at others in the photo. You NEVER, EVER do that even unloaded. Such an awful picture for so many reasons. |

I just read the victim's obituary. He was 63yo and an army vet.
Yesterday the news said anyone with any information should call the sheriff's department tip line.

I'm so sorry!! I know how frightening that is. Since we moved here, we've heard the sound of gunshots pretty closeby. Stupid me--I called 911 and reported it. Their response? Ma'am, we really can't decipher where the shots are actually coming from. It could be far away!" REALLY? How about you come and check it since I can CLEARLY hear it!!!!!!!!!! I've heard it every single weekend. It makes me want to stay inside our apartment. Now that "shooter" has what sounds like a high powered AR15. Lovely!!
As a sidenote, we've seen so many deceased bodies since we moved here that I considered carrying cheap white sheets in my trunk! It's shocking and heartbreaking to see a deceased body in the street! I'm so sorry you had to see that.
