Topic: 3 people died in the last 24 hours... :(

[BlackNMild2k1]

This girl I'm talking to, who lives about 5 minutes away if you take the freeway, heard a series of gunshots last night. She immediately asked me to come over because she was scared. By the time I got there, there were about 12 cop cars all around and people were getting pulled over, and other cops were just staking out the area.

Now for a little background;
Across the way from her in an adjacent Apartment complex there is a man that she refers to as the 420 man. The cops have staked his p;lace out before for what we assume to be drugs. This has been a common occurrence over the last few months as they drive through and then park at the end of the culdesac.

fastforward to last nite;
Gunshots were heard. two different kinds of guns. one slower than the other. The shots came out of 420 man apartment but nobody called the cops until about 30minutes later. Cops swarmed quickly. One body found in the house... dead.
People around the corner getting pulled over and their cars searched. More cops in the culdesac posted. other cops in and out of the apartment. I'm trying to get to this girsl apartment, but the cops are blocking her driveway and I'm a lil nervous cause I'm rollin a lil dirrty.
I never actually make it to her apartment, because of all the cops, So instead of me going to her place, I have her come to mine. Later find out that it wasn't 420 man that got shot like everyone thought, but his girl.

She just called me right now to let me know the cops are swarming the area again cause they just found another dead body. But this time it appears to be in the next door neighbors apartment. Possibly the elderly lady that lived there.

Now I'm thinking that she may have caught a stray bullet or had a system failure after all the commotion last night.
I was supposed to go over to this girls house tonite, but now I'm paranoid because of all the cops. Besides I don't wanna get caught up in all the death and drama that going on over there. My luck right now is bad enough as it is woithout having to add more opportunites to it.

Wow. That is intense. A few questions. Did the neighbors of 420 man like the guy? That might explain why it was 30 mins before the cops were called or the neighbors didn't hear much.Is shooting a gun a common occurance over there?

Sad to hear about the elderly woman.I think that it was probably a bit of shock in her case.

Hmm I'm not sure what to tell you about how you are going to see the girl.

[BlackNMild2k1]

Nobody probably called the cops because nobody probably wanted to be involved.
What if the 1st and only place the cops go other than to the crime scene is to your door and the people involved happen to still be around?
Don't want that kinda heat coming to where I lay my head to rest.

As far as the neighbors liking him? Doubt it, but I wouldn't know. I'm sure they just kept to themselves and continued to mind their own.

Gunshots... around here? no. not a common occurrence. A bunch of wanna be hoodlums/gangstas but there is never any gunplay that I hear of.

[BeautifulShy]

That is a good point about being visited by the shooters. I would have called the cops if I had something that would have been helpful to catching the assailants.
I asked if it was a common occurrence because if it was than people might turn a eye to it.The feeling of "Hey another gunshot" feeling.

Well keep us updated.Hope your friend is safe.

Thats your gut, stay away from that nonsense. The water over there is boiling. Keep your head above water and keep it cool.

this is what i go thru from time to time. is it messed up that i act so apatheticaly towards it? The only times i feel nervous is when i'm home long enough to hear the gunshot, then hear about someone being injured/dying from a gunshot the next day on the local news.

this is why i never hang around my block much.

Damn that's crazy! The only "POPS" I hear in my neighborhood are of little kids playing with fireworks.

But hey, if only 2 people died in the last 24 hours, I'd say that's a good thing.

[BeautifulShy]

Well it is good that no one else died since then but no life should be lost.

[Stogi]

well yeah

Thats why i hate spring/summer. Kids get a hold of some powerful fireworks and you can't tell if you should stay indoors or go out and watch an amatuer firework show.

You should put on the news....

Sadly, 12 killed already....still about 20-40 hostages.

news is on 24/7 at work (where i am now).

crazy/sad

[BlackNMild2k1]

That is exactly why I don't watch the news.

[BlackNMild2k1]

Turns out that it was 3 people dead. 2 people in the 420 apartment(but not the 420 man himself) and the elderly lady next door

[BeautifulShy]

Any word on who the 2nd person in 420 guys house was?

[BlackNMild2k1]

Some guy named Maxwell. I have no idea who he was, but then I don't know any of them on a personal level. I've only seen them out and about infront of their apartments.

No word yet on how the old lady died yet though.

[RABicle]

All I heard was that you were caught ridin dirty.

[BlackNMild2k1]

I wasn't caught nothin, but I was nervous because of it. A cop was right behind me for 30 seconds...
Followed my gut and carried my ass back to the house.

[Stratos]

Wow, that's crazy. Never been that close to a shooting like that though in the part of Portland I live in does get a fair amount of violence similar to this.

Any update on the situation? You and that girl still OK? Crazy that three people died in that happening.

[BlackNMild2k1]

Just know that the 420 guys girl was shot dead, some guy named Maxwell was shot dead and the next door neighbor, an elderly woman, was found dead the next afternoon.

There are flowers and balloons outside of the old ladies apartment and all the cops are gone. I will try to find out exactly what happened to the old lady tomorrow.

[EasyCure]

All I heard was that you were caught ridin dirty.

thats unpossible, he's too white n nerdy

But they did see him mowing his front lawn.

On a more serious note, how are things over there now? Any word on what went down over there or why the old lady died?

Things are tougher than ever, hence BnM's rigerous MyBrute training.

[BlackNMild2k1]

No new news about the old lady. seems like she might of died of heart attack due to all the gunshots.
If they catch the shooter, he could probably get an additional charge for her death added on to his sentence.

[Stratos]

Wow, I didn't know you could get charged like that for someone having a heart attack. Do they suspect it was 420 Man's doing considering it was his house and he is nowhere to be seen?
