Default Gun Shots in New Brighton

Anyone else live in New Brighton??

I was woken up at 5 am to the sound of 4 loud "pops". I thought nothing of it at the time but my wife swore they were gun shots. I just blew it off as kids lighting fireworks or the dog making noise next door.

Well, I get a call from my wife saying the police are talking to all the neighbors and they finally come by our house to ask a few questions. Now our street is closed off so they can investigate what went down!

Pretty scary shiat if you ask me. You think you're safe living in the burbs but really violence can happen anywhere. I'm pretty sure I know which house was either the target or the shooters though and hopefully the police figure what the hell is going on.

Maybe they were shooting at that guy with the awful fake British accent in the radio commercials?

What part of New Brighton are you in? We didn't hear anything in our area but we're over in the NW quadrant of New Brighton. Wow, that is scary. Keep us posted in what you find out.

I'm on Brightonstone Grdns. Just north of the community center. I was talking to some of the neighbors and they all heard it as well. Actually, one of them saw me looking out our windows in my underwear... At least they got a free show..

Not really too surprising perhaps. Grow-ops just in the last little while; I'm sure there are more they haven't found yet.

Have I become too desensitized if I think that 3 grow ops in 2009 and 5 in 2010 isn't really that bad? Don't most communities have their share?

Gunshots of course is pretty unique to a place like New Brighton. Not cool at all.

Free show? More like their retinas spontaneously combusted. Your poor neighbour scoopdogg.

Actually, having grow ops mean you live in a respectable neighborhood that the growers think will seem above board. At least that is what I tell myself.

Please don't discriminate based on age. As an 11 year old boy, I find that to be extremely offensive and unnecessary prejudice.

Sorry to hear about your ghetto neighbourhood.

Yes I do feel sorry for them witnessing that.

More to the story.

Apparently we have a Registered Sex Offender living across the street from us. He was the target of the shooting. Police know him well and I've seen the police stop by his place quite a bit.

Your bro Snoop would approve!

Of topic, but looking forward to all the playoff theme songs, in particularly the 2011 rendition of Shaggy's "It wasn't Me" as performed again by Shaggy but this time featuring Snoop Dogg and Ryan Getzlaf.
