Possible standoff in progress near my family's house

Apparently there was no problem arresting this guy, else you’d probably have heard something.

Good idea to be careful in such cases.

Okay, I have an account with Nextdoor now.

It seems like a cool website.

My mom and sister have had accounts for quite a while, and they tell me what is going on in our neighborhood.

When I created my account, they asked for my name.

I gave them a fake name, Michael Myers, because I don't want anyone to know who I am if I decide to post on there.

According to Nextdoor...

There was a flash bomb about two hours ago.

Also, two hour ago, there were six gunshots.

About an hour ago, someone posted that dispatch told them the situation was a a possible 245... assault with deadly weapon and that the suspect was barricaded in.

...

That's all for now.

No cellar here.

Our house is single story only, and between my family and myself, we have 8-10 pretty good flashlights, and I have a bunch of not-so-great flashlights as well.

Looks like the standoff is over.

From Nextdoor...

The authorities told the suspect that they were going to throw a gas bomb into his house and that it would be uninhabitable for three days. They threw it in, it made a very loud noise and he immediately came out of the house.

...

The above happened about half an hour ago.

...

(I presume that he got arrested once he left his house.

That's generally what happens.)

Since I think this part of the incident is over, it's nice to have at least some closure before I try to get some rest.

I'm still kinda shaken up, but I'm also getting sleepy (again) so I'm going back to my room and getting ready for bed.

Maybe a quick game of COD to calm the nerves perhaps?? :D

good to hear nothing happened to you or your family.

Glad to hear it worked out.

You have less lights than i do :smiley:

Yah, no one could possibly connect that name with the guy who walks around town wearing a Shatner/Kirk/Myers mask… :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

I’ve never had that situation happen around here but, that would be a time to turn off all the lights, grab a weapon of your choice, and sit quietly somewhere outside with a good view of your surroundings. I am not very good at playing run and hide. :smiley:

glad it is over and glad RC is OK.

Between COD and Doom Eternal, I can’t pick.

Eternal looks quite interesting! Dig the suit he wears. Especially that lance/probe thing that shoots out of the suit on the arm area. Hmmm gonna give the game a go. :smiling_imp:

:+1:

In my part of the world I can guarantee I’ll be holding more than a baseball bat if they come in my house

Yep… that is how it works in my parts of the world too. We NEVER take a knife or baseball bat to a gun fight, potential gun fight, or any kind of fight for that matter. :wink:

We take a variety of tools with triggers. :white_check_mark:

Make sure you’re polite and let them inside first —— :wink:

Here in Missouri we don’t have to let them in first. I’m sure it would help though. :wink:

Same! We had a dangerous prisoner escape in the county one time. They suspected he came into our more rural area of the TN mountains. They were warning us mountain people to lock cars and doors so he couldn’t find an easy getaway vehicle. :person_facepalming: Well….mountain people don’t lock doors…. :laughing:

I wanted to meet him and give him back to the Sheriff’s Department…but it never worked out… :cry: he was eventually caught.

Rest well raccoon. :slight_smile: That’s if you don’t get woken up with some outside neighbor flash bang noise or something. :smiley:
