When I pulled into the driveway, I realized that Steve had gone to pickup James from soccer tryouts because the van wasn’t home. When I opened the front door, it seemed strange that Willow didn’t come barreling out but I realized that Steve had put her in her kennel which we aren’t doing these days usually but I thought, Oh Well.
Then I saw this note:
Sure enough, I went and had a look through our bedroom window and could just barely make out the sniper, hiding under/next to the tree. Our backyard is a 2 level yard – we call the area that is lower and next to the fence “the moat”.Steve found out about him because he let Willow out into the yard and she went running to the edge of the moat and started to bark and wouldn’t quit. Steve thought that maybe a dog or cat got into our yard so he went over to grab her and found the sniper in the yard. The sniper said he had a clear shot to the house they were watching and he was able to stay moderately hidden.
Apparently a gun had been shot and the bullet had entered the next townhouse unit. It was reported to the police so they turned up. About 9:30 at night, they had managed to get their robot into the unit and realized that whoever had shot the gun was no longer in the unit. For quite a while, we had a "Hawks" police helicopter cruising overhead. At one point, Steve called me and suggested I turn off our security motion-sensors so the cop would not set them off.
According to the radio report the next day the individuals who lived in the unit where the shot originated “were known to the police”.
