size=2>Did anyone else hear a succession of "shots" (it sure
didn't sound like firecrackers, and it wasn't quick semi-auto fire,
but it was *something*) somewhere around 0200-0230 this
morning?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

place noises -- guess its that motherly instinct) and asked me "are those
gunshots?"</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

there were nine of them. I went to let in the dog (who's a big baby
whenever there are any kind of noises) and heard a few addresses in the area
calling in to the PD on the scanner. I guess to help the PD localize the
phenomenon, my wife called in as well. Not hearing anything major going on
(thank goodness) I rolled over and went back to sleep. I asked Debby if
she heard anything else later and she said no. I told her they probably
wouldn't catch anybody, since it seemed pretty random.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

size=2>Just wondering if there may have been some sort of drive-by, if it was
some doofuses practicing hooliganism, or if it was even gunfire. After
speaking to some others over coffee this morning, I heard about a guy and his
son getting called in for "shots fired" while they were using a pneumatic nail
gun to put up shingles, so we may *all* be a little hyper-sensitive to out of
place noises.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
