Similar happening with my, at my former home in Columbia, Maryland. A greenbelt ran behind my building that wannabe gangsters liked to use to shoot trees at night. A helicopter hovered just over the trees for 5 minutes.
Like you, I was smart enough not to go outside with a gun.

I wouldn’t go out armed in such situations either. I depend upon my prepositioned camouflaged claymores for contingencies. ;-)
