Last night I was awakened by an alarm nearby at 10:45. I checked my car in case the iPhone app was not functioning and saw it was fine. Headed back to bed and was trying to fall back to sleep when I heard six gunshots. Three shots, a pause, then three more. I get up again and go out the front door and listen. I check the back deck and see lights on the house to the north of Mom’s and assume that it involved them. I then start to hear sporadic gunfire from, what I assume was, the beach area and they were single shots spaced about 30 to 45 seconds apart.

This morning I asked Mom is she heard anything and she didn’t. I told her what I heard and my assumptions and she was surprised. I told her that when the sun came up I was going to talk to the neighbor about what I heard and see what happened. At 7:00 I walked over there and knocked on the door and asked the wife, Sherry, if they knew what had happened and she said they were up at the time but didn’t hear anything. She explained that when he house is closed up because they have the air on, they can’t hear anything that happens outside. Makes sense since the only reason I heard what I heard was because I opened the window at night to hear the lake.

The upshot of this is that I have no clue what happened, but there were about a dozen shots fired in close proximity to Mom’s house around 10:45 last night.
