Road is taped off at the corner for 2 blocks west and 2 blocks north on the next street over. The epicenter is exactly the house I thought it was. Apparently a drive-by... at least based on FB/Reddit chatter in the locals groups. No word yet on whether anyone got hit. I sure hope the cat is okay.
Four years living in the neighborhood and nearly 20 years of coming to it, this is definitely an anomaly, but also a completely unsurprising location for a targeted incident. I'm sure we'll be back down to the usual occasional petty theft and vandalism in no time!
