there was a shooting outside my house last night. i was laying in bed thinking that the kids on the street were very loud, but glad they were laughing. then one shot, and half a dozen more. then "who was shot?" "who was shot?" "i was shot." got out of bed in time to see one of the girls being carried into the car. at least one more seemed like he had been hit. they went to the hospital.


police were here for hours collecting bullets and questioning people.


this morning i woke up and the sun shone and it seemed like nothing had happened.


it is disturbing to me to know that i will not see this in the news.
