when the doorbell rings. It wakes me, but I don't move. Listening. The bell rings again and I hear a frantic please help!. I grab the shotgun, make my way up the hall in the dark, flip on the porch light and there is a mid 45ish woman worked up and asking me to call the police. She keeps looking back east towards the end of the street as I ask who she is and if she lives near by. "My name is Donna I don't live here, can you call the police? I think my son is going to hurt himself.
OK, I say hold on, dial 911 tell them there is a woamn in a red shirt, about 5'6" on my porch asking me to call the police, she thinks her son is going to hurt himself. They ask the usual questions I have no answers for. I am told they are on their way, and I tell the woman they are on their way and she runs off.
My wife who followed me, went to the front bedroom to look out the window to watch. She says the woman ran back to a car that was at the far end of the street and my wifey says they begin yelling at each other she gets in the car and leaves!
Like wth was that? So a few seconds later I here the police car go by. I dunno how to explain it, but you can just hear a police car. The engines run faster I think. And the fact you hear a car and see no lights, good chance it's a cop. Anyways, I go and open the garage, as i walk out, the cop has already rounded the block and sees me and races over. He asked a few questions, told him what I knew and he OK, we'll find her and off he went.
how crazy is that? People are something else.

I wonder what sort of damage a 3" #3 magnum steel shot shell with 1 3/8 lead powered by 5 drams of powder would do to a human body coming out of a 18" barrel?
