[Highland Park] gunshots this morning
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..... Maryann Moore
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:
