There were at least 10 cop cars out there
Where do you live?! Weren't you the one hearing gunfire, too?
It's worrying!
I'm a big girl. Just tell me.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Well, I'm not in the parts of Chicago where the murder rate has been through the roof. Crime happens, but it's not a bad neighborhood. Honestly, I heard more gunfire growing up in Kansas City (and less when I lived in Detroit).

Good lord, aurelia! It's over and quiet now, right? That does sound like the end of a car chase we had here a while back: three sheriff's depts and a couple of CHP cars converging in our cul de sac.
Yay Field Museum and pizza!
ION: tonight's LA Complex is new, or new to the US, anyway.

The guy was in cuffs pretty quickly. It seems to be down to one unmarked car, probably waiting for a tow truck to impound the arrested guy's car.

Well, I hope this leads to fewer incidents of official knocks on your door when you are not dressed to receive visitors, at least.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Aurelia, I find you astonishingly calm about all that.

Yeah, Chicago's already passed the 250 mark for murders this year. Are we number one? I probably don't want to know the answer to that.

-t, that made me laugh.
Zen, it was certainly a bit of excitement, but I never felt like I was in any danger. I did wait until the shouting stopped before I approached the window. I guess I'm just a urban kid. This is my world.

Shrift, I think yes. At least my parents keep hearing about it on national news.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Congratulations, Chicago. You've already hit the number of murders in all of Australia over 2010.
