Gun Shots in the Night

I really debated with myself whether to make this post or not. It's not a pleasant post. You've been warned.

Over the weekend as I slept. I woke up, as I sometimes do, randomly at night. Typically I fall right back asleep. Sunday I woke up in the wee hours of the morning. As I lay in bed readying to go back to sleep I heard a gun shot. Damn! That sounded pretty close, I thought to myself. A few moments later I heard about four or five more gun shots. DAMN! They sounded really close. I wondered if someone had been shot.

Shortly afterwards I heard the paramedics arrive. Yep, something had happened. I knew it did not concern me so I rolled over to sleep. The following morning I opened the drapes and saw a police vehicle across the street. Maybe looking at security footage, I thought to myself.

Well, to make a long story short, the block around the corner from my house was cordoned off by the police. I found out that one of the guys who hangs out around the corner had been shot and killed.

Granted, I may not have been in the best of terms with the guys from around the corner, but may he rest in peace.
