Shooting in Algiers.

[noob]

"A woman who lives nearby, who declined to give her name, said she was sitting in her bedroom watching a movie when she heard 15 gunshots.

The woman said she then heard the sounds of an ambulance and other emergency vehicles but did not know where the shots or sirens were coming from so she began driving around the area to look for the source."

Is it just me, or is that the dumbest thing someone can do? "oh, I hear some gun shots, let me GO TOWARDS IT?!"

I agree with stupidity... but, my father took some of my siblings around BR when the 5 officers were shot "just to check it out", and I have told him that was a horrible decision... "Why would you complicate what the officers had to deal with that day?" is what I said. So, I can kind of understand the curiosity aspect... But, he should have been doing what I was doing topping off mags and stashing guns around the house as I know he was only riding around with 1 compact pistol... So... YES STUPID ON HER (and his) PART.

Yep, definitely not wise moves on their part.

I could get a good look at a t-bone by sticking my head up a cows....but I'd rather take the medias word about it.

My point was either way you are taking a chance in trying to find out what happened. You could listen to the medias version which we know is always accurate (not) or go out rubbernecking and causing problems. That's all. Not picking sides. If I see emergency units close to my house I must admit curiosity gets the best of me.

Who counts shots? Who is that bad a lookie loo? Maybe she was looking for the new Shooting Range in Algiers
TUNE IN NEXT WEEK. SAME BAT-TIME, SAME BAT-CHANNEL.

Maybe she was an EMT / nurse / doctor?

Or,

an ACL?!?

[JoeLiberty]

Human nature I guess. But yes, not the smartest.
Sounds like this double-murder took place inside a gun-free school zone though... How the hell did they get past all the "no guns" signs??? We must need to put more signs up!

LOL! I'm thinking this one wins today!

Yep, it gets my vote of approval!

I agree about her actions not being the smartest thing to do right after a 15 round gun blast! That said, 1) since when do ambulances/EMT, etc. follow THAT SOON (!!!) after s shooting? Remember - it's the NOPD. 2) That said, these days in Algiers you have to be waaaaaay more specific than "shooting in Algiers" because it's become almost a daily happening!!!

Trust me, I know. I live in Algiers, and here about it every day. But luckily I live in a safe area of algiers.

I lived in Algiers 48 years ago. So where is the "safe area" of Algiers today?

Next to the NOPD 4th district office?

We have 24 hour security where I live with manned gates and zero violent crime. Minimal crime period.

Pretty cool, noob. Sort of like a military fort in the old west on the plains. What do you guys do for a major hurricane like Katrina? Maybe hire Blackwater contractors during the outage? I remember the natives vandalizing and robbing Oakwood mall. The infamous NOPD shooting.

If it's the island in the woods I lived in Algiers during Katrina the residents, which leaned heavily to LE and Military from both bases, were walking around with slung rifles. The gate was being watched by a resident and there was a backup in the shack.

Yeah I was thinking after I posted noob and company may have a well armed militia within the neighborhood itself.

Send the children, wives, grandparents away west or east pre-storm. Then defend the wire. Its what I would do.

It's good you're gated and guarded. My daughter lives in a relatively safe location, too. Few years ago a woman got car-jacked in her driveway at around noon! Two streets over from my daughter's safe location. She told me she was thinking about a gun soon after.... Gave her a .38 and a box of Gold Dots.
