may be off-topic but perhaps not. A teenage child (a junior or senior in high
school) had a party while the child's parents were away for the evening. The
parents knew there would be ten or so friends coming over while they were out.
However, the party quickly grew out of control through texting and other means,
attracting a hundred or more partygoers, some of whom were quite unsavory.
There was alcohol and drug use, racing through the neighborhood, and approaching
midnight a vehicle left the party and an occupant of the vehicle shot a firearm
randomly - a dozen or more rounds - some of which struck a nearby neighbor's
home while its occupants were present. No one was physically hurt but they were
traumatized, and the bullets caused substantial property damage to the
home. The perpetrator has yet to be identified or apprehended, but there
is video showing the vehicle leaving the cul-de-sac and recording the sound of
the shots being fired.</DIV>
