Interesting times...

So, this happened (the photo's taken in the parking lot of the closed Family Video next door, and as the first commenter says, the article should say May 4).  We heard it happening - thought it was a firecracker going off.  Then a couple of hours later, Thomas was looking out of the window and he said "there's that guy walking his cat again!"  And sure enough, there was a man with a cat on a leash walking past the house.  So, we've got all sorts.

[Later:  The whole police report/Flint Journal article is weird: I clearly saw a body being loaded into an ambulance from a car that was parked at the corner of Court and Franklin, which is at least 500 yards from the bus stop.  (And, as Simon pipes in, if she had a car, why was she waiting at a bus stop?)  Moreover, 5 police and sheriff cars, a fire truck and an ambulance were all circled around the car at that intersection and none were parked near the liquor store.  So I don't know what that story is on about.  MEANWHILE: I got a text from a neighbor who currently rents a house two houses down from Court and Vernon, which is a stone's throw from where a certain grandma used to live.  He got home from work about 8 and saw someone shot at right in front of his house--rumor has it that it was a retaliation shooting.  Exciting times indeed.]
