so yeah, at around 1:30 am my SO and I had just fallen asleep and my brother who lives with us was still awake in the living room. All the sudden I hear something and in a half groggy state and my brother is at our door telling us to get up, and something about the police. So I'm very confused and all I can think is that we have to evacuate and that someone has to get the cat carrier! Well I was wrong, I stumbled out of my room, not dressed in a manner I want police officers to see me in, but anywho........ as the title of my post suggests .......... there were not 1, not 2, NOT 3, but 4 cops, and not just normal cops, but fully armored cops in the apartment and they were sort of talking/yelling at us to get out of the apartment and asking us if we had a gun!!! (I'm in Canada for reference and that is not a normal question, we don't generally have guns) so we said no, they looked around and then asked us if we had heard any gun shots or anything. My SO and I hadn't, but my brother had heard something on our neighbours balcony, but not what sounded like 'real' gunshots, but similar.
So they told us that someone had seen someone on one of our balconies aiming a very large gun down at the ground (we are on the 14th floor) and nobody would answer at the neighbours. So the cops used our balcony to look over into the neighbours and could see them sitting in the living room (who doesn't answer the door to the cops). So finally after the cops 'convinced' them to come out. Long story short, they had a MASSIVE air rifle, with a scope and everything, and they were indeed shooting it at stuff off the balcony which freaked out the people below, understandably. The cops showed us the rifle and I would have been terrified if I saw someone shooting it off a balcony.
So everything is OK, not sure what happened to the people with the air rifle, because I'm pretty sure that even if they are allowed to have it, they are not allowed to shoot it in city limits, off their balcony....... people are so stupid.
In anycase, it was quite a way to wake up............ couldn't get back to sleep for quite sometime!
