The other night I was sitting on my porch minding my own business when all of a sudden I hear a loud humming noise. I look up in the sky and am damn near blinded by the spotlight of a Metro helicopter (ghetto bird). It's not uncommon to see the bird around town. I didn't know what else to do so I waved. I was then blinked twice by the it -- Being blinked twice means they see you and have deemed you a non threat.
I then look over the ledge of my porch and notice four Metro officers canvassing the courtyard, K9 and all...One of the officers notices me and asks if I had seen anybody running through the courtyard. I told him no. I then ask - "What is going on?" He tells me this - "There was a disturbance at the 7-11 across the street. Some one said they saw the perpetrator run through the complex."
Today I went into the 7-11 where the disturbance occurred. I am good friends with a few of the people who work there. One of them tells me this - "You missed it. There was a shoot out the other night." Now, it was becoming crystal clear why the ghetto bird was in my neck of the woods. Shootings are what generally bring it. He then goes on to add - "I was working and I hear people arguing out in the parking lot, so I look out the window. The next thing you know this guy was shooting at this car. And some one in the car was firing back." I ask if anyone was hit? He answers, "No, but they sure were trying."
