re: Metairie Double Shooting, Father/Son Shot (Update p 31, Suspect Guilty)

You can distinguish a gunshot in your sleep from a house that you aren't in? I'm not really sure why I've gotten two downvotes, gun shots just aren't that loud if you're not close to the gun. It's highly unlikely it would wake you up.

I've shot racoons in my back yard at 11 at night before with a .22, and i live in a neighborhood. Most of my neighbors know it's me and buddy of mine a street over heard it in his house, and that's a .22.

I remember a few years ago some moron shooting a dog 2 streets over in my neighborhood during the day while we were inside and i could clearly tell a pistol was just shot.

If it turns out to be a drive by shooting that is incredibly bad luck for both to be hit and killed

hopefully they get whoever did it

Perhaps you just missed it, but I said while you're sleeping. A gunshot isn't going to rouse you out of sleep and you immediately know it was a gunshot.

The supposed time is just before midnight. Unless I was awake, I wouldn't hear a gunshot inside of a different house.

Let's just say I know a guy who is a gunsmith and has fired pistols inside his home numerous times and no one outside reported hearing anything. Y'all are overestimating the noise a pistol makes.
Edited because maybe they heard something but not enough to make them think anythjng was wrong

My next door neighbors were sleeping and they heard it. They just assumed it was me and asked me the next day.

Pistols are loud. From the reports, it wasn't just one shot, it was mulitple. You're going to wake up if someone shoots a pistol several times in the general vicinity of you, regardless if you're sleeping or not.

There may be a few select individuals who sleep like bricks that don't hear it, but there's no way no one will hear it, even if everyone was sleeping. If a pistol was shot mulitple times, someone from the 7 or 8 houses in close proximity to this house is going to hear it.

maybe not a .22 but any decent pistol, rifle, or shotgun in the immediate area will wake your arse up with the quickness even in a house

---

A shotgun shot inside another house isn't waking you up Not unless The Princess and the Pea was written about you.

I heard a couple a few months ago that were probably a mile and a half away from inside my house.

Unless you have a mile and a half of completely open space between you and the source of that shot, bullshite.

You're an expert on everything.

Do you disagree?

Do you think that sound wave wouldn't get distorted by a mile and a half of urban density? Not to mention his house's insulation and any ambient noises.

Were you sleeping, though? Maybe I am a heavier sleeper than I think, but I feel like my mind would turn those sounds to a dream about fireworks or popcorn and I wouldn't even consider that I had actually heard gunshots the next morning unless I distinctly remember that part of the dream.
