What does a .45 sound like when fired in your neighbors house?
I know.
Last night I could not sleep, nor could my wife. At 2:30am, a muffled Bam..Bam...........Bam. She had no clue what it was as it sounded like someone hitting a trash can lid somewhere outside. And I was laying on my good ear, so it sounded like a cat jumping or running in the house. 45 min later, the chocolate lab wants outside, and because I sprayed weed killer on the weeds and didn't want the 65lbs garbage disposal eating it, I went out on the deck to watch her.
That is when I saw flashlights from the inside of my neighbor's house looking out their back sliding glass door. Weird...but my neighbors are not your normal neighbors, so I just knocked it up as weird. But my dog wouldn't come in, and she kept smelling the corner of the fence. Then she LIT UP! Someone was out front between the houses. Again, I wasn't surprised...the 30 somethings next door live a later lifestyle than we do. I grabbed her and drug her back inside.
One look out my bathroom window between the houses revealed 5 squad cars!!! And the K9 unit was just getting out of the car. Around the back of the neighbors house they went and right to the corner of my fence where my dog was hanging out. The moment they opened my gate and went in the back yard, I grabbed my pants and shirt...now I was involved.
Here a "friend of a friend" had broken into the neighbor's house and who know what was on their mind...but when they approached the bedroom door, my neighbor fired one shot into the top of the door frame, and the next through the side of the door frame that hit the intruder. Then down the hall, and one more shot at the front door as the intruder ran out. 1 for 3 hits.
No blood, but apparently he came from my back yard in through their back sliding door which had the security bar mysteriously removed and missing. They are checking every hospital in the Kansas City area for someone with a .45 slug in their side/butt/leg.
Been in the house for only 3 weeks, and now I got to meet my neighbor. Poor kid (38ish) was shaken!!!! And MAN....a .45 slug going though wood molding makes some serious splinters!!!
Pray that my wife can feel safe when I have to travel for work, but most of all pray for my neighbor who now feels the fear of retaliation from people.
