I posted about the recent sudden increase in guncrime in my area and I mean on my doorstep.
2 shootings recently in areas i walk pas almost daily with my babies, one being directly next to a park.
So last night I was putting the kids to bed and I came downstairs, DH said that he had heard what he thought were 2 gunshots outside minutes before (on the avenue behind us) I told him he was being daft.
But about 3 minutes later there are police whizzing past, sirens and 2 police helicopters circling overhead with the light shining down over our row of houses.
I haven't heard anything yet but it seems he was right in thinking it was gunshots.
I never thought I would want to move, its never been this bad, always been an OK area but lately its just gone to pieces.
We are apparantly in the middle of a 'turf war' between two areas either side of us (which are both really bad areas) so i can believe thats true!
I just dont want to live here!
Im so sad though as we have done up our little council house, we have a big garden, i like our house but hate our area.
Why are these gun wielding shits destroying our lives and making me move from MY home???
Im so sad and angry
