They said that it was common for people to hunt in the woods by their home and even shoot at bear to run them off.. If you live in a neighborhood where there is alot of hunting activity or out of the city hearing gun shots isn't always something to make you think its at another human. There are lots of reasons why someone may be firing a gun in the middle of the nightI find it odd, that the neighbors heard the gunshot, and did not call the police. I know that they voluntarily had their house searched by officers.
It just seems "off" to me.
If I heard 2 gunshots at 12:00 am, in my neighborhood, you bet I would call the police in a heartbeat.
