Yes, we also heard what sounded like shots at about 4 a.m. We live at the corner of Jackson and Euclid. We called 911. The police drove by - I saw their cars come by with searchlights - and they didn't see anything. Like you, we didn't hear any car or any footsteps after the shots. We thought as you did that they sounded like a semi-automatic hand gun. When I called the police again a bit later, I asked if anyone else had called, and the police said no one had. We don't know anything more than that. It was very, very frightening. jai P.S. I think it would be a good idea for everyone who hears anything like that to call 911 immediately. I think the police need to know that it's more than just one person/household hearing something. On Jul 18, 2008, at 9:41 AM, Maryann Moore wrote:
I live on Wayne Rd. with my backyard on Jackson, very near the Jackson and N. Euclid intersection. At 4 p.m. this morning, we heard a series of gunshots that seemed to come from a semi- automatic hand gun. The shots were so loud, and so distinct, they seemed as if they were right in my backyard.
I heard no cars, no people, and never heard police sirens.
Did anyone else hear this? Anyone know what was going on? It was very, very frightening…..
