Shooting right next to our house

A few weeks ago there was a party in the street that numbered in the hundreds.  This party went on till the wee hours of the morning.   We called the police multiple times to report the disturbance, but as  usual, the police  did nothing.   At around 3 am me and my wife heard a series of what sounded like5 - 6  gun shots. .   We looked out the window and saw   quite a few people walking to their cars.  At first I doubted it was gun shots because I saw how calm everyone was.  I assumed that if they were gun shots people would be running for cover.    Shortly afterwards I saw a swarm of police cars and ambulance arrive.

We discovered that several men had been shot,   one of them right in front of our house.  There was blood stains splattered right on the sidewalk.  No one seemed phased, not the police, and not the neighborhood residents. Just another day in the hood.
