DDO shooting turns up no victims
Someone shot a gun in DDO Sunday but nobody was hit.
How do people even know? Occasionally I hear what I think is small fireworks being let off, nearby, but I’m not confident I’d be able to tell gunfire from a pétard.

To be fair, they did find a bullet casing

Afterwards, yes, when the police had been called. But I’m not sure if I heard the bang-bang of a gun somewhere nearby that I could tell it wasn’t a firework.

Or a car backfiring. I always tell myself that a gunshot would be louder than whatever I just heard.

Compared to a firecracker, gunfire sounds a little flat. It doesn’t carry on as long.
And if you call 911 to report gunfire, they’ll ask how you know the difference.

@Kevin; depends on the gun. Shotgun, rifle, and pistol all sound different.

True dat. I’ve only heard pistols being fired in a city.
