Last night was pretty scary and crazy. First let me set the back story so you can get an idea of the situation. I live in a pretty nice, safe, town house complex, or I should say my brother does as I'm just staying with him up in WA St. until I find my own place up here.
About a week ago some new people moved in just as I got up here, they seemed pretty cool, quiet, normal people. They are I'm guessing a married couple, but I haven't met them personally but my brother has and he mentioned that they seemed pretty nice. Of course that was all before we start to here them arguing every night at about 2-4am in the morning, which after a couple nights of that gets really annoying and you almost expect a head to come through the wall to greet you. Not only that but they are really loud as well, aside from the arguing obviously, it seems like they walk around with 10 pound weights on their feet.
Now the arguing hasn't gotten past anything but words, from what I can tell, but last night it got really bad really quick. I have to say that I've never heard the guy at all, I only hear the girl yelling at him I'm assuming and him trying to calm him down. Now the sound proofing in these town homes aren't all that great, if you speak loud enough you can pretty much make out all of a conversation that someone is having, but still nobody should be talking that loud anyway. So last nigh at about 3am I wake up, and hear her once again yelling, and walking around loudly. Earlier in the day I think they were having a party next door, which was cool since it's a weekend and I don't mind if they are loud, as long as it doesn't extend into the early hours of the morning.
All of a sudden outside, I hear one of them cock a pistol, and then the girl says something. I couldn't make out what she said but she said the same thing twice. Soon as I heard the gun load, I knew something bad was going to happen. As soon as she said whatever she said twice, BANG. At this point I'm pretty much freaking out. I don't know what just happened, if I just heard a murder, or what. It got really quiet next door which only made things even scarier because I was already thinking something bad just happened. The police come over obviously, and I didn't even want to look out my window at this point but I glanced out once I saw the cops flashlights coming through my window every once in a while. All I could see was one cop looking near the fences behind the complex, I didn't see any body or anything gladly so I still wasn't sure what had happened. About 10-15 minutes go by and then I see some flashes of light outside the window, which were the officers taking pictures of the scene. A couple minutes later I hear a plastic bag fiddling around, and I'm thinking, "oh great a body bag", and my first thought of what had happened was true. Apparently not though, and whomever shot the gun only shot at the ground next to the other person, as a warning shot. I couldn't say who it was, I thought it might be the girl just because from the arguments it seemed like she was taunting the guy. But now I'm thinking it was just him getting so pissed off that she wouldn't calm the hell down, that he gave her a warning shot. Which kinda fits with everything because I didn't hear him at all talking to the police only her once.
Anyways, very scary to hear a gun shot like that, especially when you kinda know from the arguing that something bad is going to happen. Like I said I don't live in an area that is prone to crime, so it was a shock to hear something like this happening. Any of you got some stories like this?
