@ai6yr @Lazarou @swart I remember the time I was grilling outside one night, a rental in a neighborhood that saw lots of turnover in units making it hard to "know" your neighbors. Anyway, BANG! Then I hear the guy on the front porch across the street exclaim, "Dammit, I shot myself!" Next thing you know police are there, questioning, trying to ascertain trajectory, etc. What a waste of time/resources. They obviously didn't get a straight answer out of my neighbor and certainly didn't bother to ask neighbors what happened, though someone must have called 911 having heard a gunshot.
