ummmmm so M called me at work last night to let me know that there was an incident on our street, which brought police galore into the neighborhood. Basically several cop cars and the forensics unit (??), which brought most (if not all) of the neighborhood into the streets. When I came home around 9, they were still out there–it was hard for me to get down the road to our street since some people were parked on the curb and one of the side streets is kind of narrow anyway, so I was driving really slowly and trying not to sideswipe anybody…M had gone out earlier and talked to a cop, who said there was a gang fight earlier and there had been some shooting. OMG. Great, we’ve moved into the ghetto.

The police officer told M not to worry (??), but she took photos of everyone’s houses and the stuff in our front yards, apparently? And she said to let them know if we see anything “suspicious.” I am assuming this was a drug-related incident, hence the forensics unit? geez. We looked but didn’t see anything in the local news about the incident, which I think is weird–shouldn’t this be in the newspaper or something? At any rate, I’m hoping this was an isolated incident…it’s really unsettling because we’ve only been in this house/neighborhood less than one month…
