There was a shooting up here on the hill tonight. It seems that the shooting took place about a block from our house and then the guy rode his bike over to our block and collapsed.

That is all I know and things seem to have calmed down some outside. Guess it’s time for bed.

    [...] ever astutely asked “is that a helicopter?”  Now it’s not as interesting as somebody getting shot and then riding their bike to fall over on your doorstep, but then what [...]
