A woman screaming, fear screaming, not playing, followed by 4-5 shots fired in rapid succession very, very close, less than a block away and a car peeling out, followed by another. Not two minutes later, helicopters in the air, flying low and searching, searching. Birds were out before the radio cars because I'm only now hearing sirens and the birds are sticking close. I don't hear ambulances so I'm hoping, hoping, hoping whoever it was fired wildly and missed.

Now I hear police radios which means they're right outside. I want to go outside but I have nothing to offer and my father would wake up wherever he is and come here and kill me himself for not crouching on the floor after hearing shots fired.
