Went on an errand this morning, won't say where, but it involved people in white coats and needles (not the asylum, though it probably should have been). Well, I was sitting in said place, reading a book and being jabbed with a needle, when we heard what sounded like gunfire outside. This is a college town, so full of decrepit old cars, so we all assumed it was a backfire. Then we heard the noise again in quick procession.

  Turns out some freak, a block or two away, was on his balcony shooting what is being described as an assault rifle. A storm of sirens erupt in the background and we are all ordered to remain in the building and away from the windows. A couple of hours later and I've managed to sneak away home, though the situation is as yet unresolved. The reports are the shooter is holed up in his/her/their apartment with police trying to talk them out and get info.

 They're saying they have no reports of anyone being hit, or even what the dumbass was shooting at. As long as noone was injured, I feel okay bitching about what a total pile of a morning I had.

 So, was mine worse than yours?
