Yes, right here in River City. Right next door to me.
Last Sunday morning we awoke at 4:26 a.m. to someone knocking loudly at our door. We got up and looked out our bedroom window and saw many people pouring out of the house next door and into their cars. Cars which were lined up and down the street; cars that weren't there when we went to bed the night before.
Cautiously we went to the door but no one was there. I saw a man handing a woman something in our front yard then they ran to separate vehicles and took off.
Most of the cars were now gone, that fast.
I swear it was one minute later the cops arrived and blocked off the street at both ends. Probably 5 cruisers. Then the fire engine, ambulance and fire chief showed up. We were on our front porch, mouths agape.
We were interviewed by a detective who said there had been a shooting, 3 victims who all went to the hospital with non-life-threatening wounds. "Reportedly" someone just walked into the backyard where neighbor guy was having a party (we didn't hear the party or the shots because we have a fan on in our room), and started shooting.
No one could identify or describe this shooter. I call BS. I think some drunken party-goer got mad at someone and brought out his heater and no one wants to tell on him.
This neighborhood is VERY quiet. Mostly elderly on our block save this neighbor guy. He's in his mid-40s. He's a retired military guy, a bit on the spectrum in my opinion, and his wife left him last summer. She had their yard looking like a magazine cover and now it looks like hell. But he's always driving some flashy new car. Every other week it's a new one. He must lease and trade in continuously. He hasn't shown his face much outside since.
The thing that I found interesting---the City sent some guys out later that day to clean up the blood in the street where the victims had run to their cars or fallen. There were about 4-5 spots of it I guess. They wore gloves, but other than that, they just looked like the crew guys who pick up trash alongside the road. I just have never heard of this street blood cleanup before. Have you? What a job!
