What a morning...

Good lord...

Swat team woke up me up banging on the apt next to me...

Domestic shooting!

Ex boyfriend shot and killed ex gf RIGHT NEXT TO MY APT

freaking swat team...cops running around with shot guns...


i'm so not used to this shit!

WOWOW!
Were they as badass as they look on Tv?

yep

They must have offered you some good money to move to Charlotte. The hell is there to do there anyways?

I love the city , tons of partyin\

just lots of crime...

That's crazy. You're lucky none of those bullets made their way through the walls into your apartment.

Partying and crime, who would have thought that they would go together so well?

Well ilanbg I assume he only had to shoot once or twice to kill her, and I doubt (though I am not expert) a bullet can travel through a skull, brain, back out the skull and have enough force to go through 2 layers of drywall and whatever else is between the walls.

Oh boy, you're quite wrong. Depends on a number of factors, including the bullet type, weight, and load. Bullet ballistics are a funny thing and can be quite unpredictable, but a round can easily pass through a couple of people, 3 or 4 walls, and keep on going if all the stars are aligned properly. Over penetration and injury to bystanders is the significant risk of any indoor gunfight. That's why there is such a market for frangible rounds like Glaser Safety Slugs and MagSafe's. Indoor walls might as well be tissue paper, especially for ball ammo. Even JHP's can plug up with material, basically becoming hardballs and over-penetrating.

Not that this asshole cared, as he's obviously a murderer, but anybody intending to keep a firearm for home defense must absolutely understand where a round can go when you fire it -- and not just what you're aiming at. I cringe at people who are untrained in firearms usage and ballistics yet have guns in their homes for self-defense. Imagine the horror of shooting a perp and having the round end up going through your kid's room, or the neighbor's apartment...

Well, I am glad you are ok though. Are you going to be ok with living in this apartment still? I know that I would kind of be freaked out after that.

Hard to believe but I've seen a post where Dmorris was wrong...
I can't find it though.
Oh well.

I'll be fine but i'll try and lower my rent =P

Shit man. Glad you're all right. That must be some scary shit.

Lmaoo..Actually that's a good idea.
Tell your Landlord your psychologically damaged forever and you want to move out otherwise.

Wow, that is scary!

Maybe something good can come from a BAD situation.

More than one, I'm certain. But I won't help you find them either. P

Wow - glad to hear you are ok !
About gunfire travel- here is a story - when I was young we owned a 3 flat and we were the main level. Renters below us fired a gun- went through their ceiling - through our apartment and through the upstairs renters bed and into attic - . No one got hurt- unbelieveable- The next day both the upper and lower renters moved out!

Pretty scary though I was only 9.

Damn dude, glad you're OK.

That's the kinda shit that happens to me.

Glad to hear your okay, reminded me of the time that house blew up in TSJ's backyard or something

Speaking of which? Whatever happened to that "drug" guy behind his house? lol

Like the time you almost got knifed by a lady at the ATM.
Talk about pulling a CS source.

No one knew what was going on....no one was aloud out..

You met a pr0n star didn't you...

Yeah, but I had to go downtown for that, that's like 20 minutes away.

That stinks! And let me guess it was the one day you were going to sleep in! Sorry to hear that!

I'm glad you're alive to tell the story. Anyone would have been scared.

wow. Seems very hectic. Tomorrows another day! Can't get woken up by a swat team two days in a row!

Heh, all seems quiet on the western front!
