Hi James. My wife spoke to the police shortly afterwards as we live close by and heard the shot. I believe the police found part of a gun in the road. I am not exactly clear on what this means. But it does reflect a scary escalation in the type of crime in the neighborhood. And the close proximity of the highway does make a quick getaway easier. Are there cameras at the gateway ? It would strategically be a good point. Maybe Mill stock cars can come up with something. On 1 Apr 2015 12:52, "James Cowley" <jamesobs...@gmail.com> wrote:
