Gunshots

Last night, I went to bed early. I was nearly asleep when I heard a rapid series of percussions. At first, I thought it was someone banging on my door. I jumped up, ran to the door. Yelled to ask who was there. No answer. I carefully and slowly opened the door. Just at that time, several homes turned their lights on at once. I heard a woman down the street telling someone to stay down. Not sure if it was a child or animal she was speaking to. At the same time, car tires around the corner peeled out and a car sped down the main cross street. The sound that awakened me was not someone banging on my door but gunshots around the corner from me. Probably a drug deal gone bad. 

I called the police. Few minutes later, two sheriff's cars examined the area. A minute later, they turned on their lights and sped away. Guess something happened somewhere else.

No crime scenes marked off. No ambulances. So I'm thinking nobody was hurt. That's a good thing. 

Weather sucked today. Didn't get anything done tonight. Also having joint pains in my legs. Probably because of the new shoes. Just adjusting. 

Getting to bed early again. Obviously, didn't sleep all that well last night.
