Gun Street Girl

I'm still too shaky, so rather than typing out a narrative of what just happened, here's the instant message version:

JQP: so i had to call 911 about 20 minutes ago
JQP: i was sitting outside smoking and there was all of this yelling at the apartments next door... then i heard three loud pops, and this time i DID NOT think it sounded like fireworks.
friend: Why?
JQP: two more when i was on the phone with the dispatcher
friend: Holy shit
JQP: stuck my head out the door after that and it was totally silent - like everyone had scattered
JQP: then i see a car head down the hill and a few seconds later i hear 5 or 6 more pops that sounded like they were going down the hill with the car
JQP: the fire trucks left, but the cops are still there
JQP: my guess is that no one was shot, but that someone may have shot a gun to scare the people they were arguing with.
JQP: i wish i had a police scanner.
friend: Oh my God, that's terrifying. Are you alright?
JQP: yeah, just really on edge.
JQP: i've never called the cops in my life.

  3. Thanks to everyone... I see no news on it, so definitely no one was hurt. The cops were there for quite awhile, so there was something to what I heard.

    I wish I knew what happened. After all the stupid staff changes at The Tennessean in the last year, I don't know if my mom knows anyone there anymore who might've been listening to a police scanner last night.
