What should I do? URGENT!!

[MadSativa]

i think you'll find that walmart doesn't have much to offer. k-mart, however, has a wide assortment of kevlar casual wear and even some armored formal attire. also, this coming spring victoria's secret is coming out with a line of provocative ballistic nylon undergarments you might want to look into.

Oh have you herd of those kevlar back packs I came up with that idea about 5-6 years ago and now some one did it and their makin $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

I think the advice to do nothing is absurd. Even if officers simply come and make themselves visible, that might save other people from stray bullets or save someone in the immediate situation where there's a shooter.

I don't live in a place where we hear gunshots, either. But if I ever hear seven shots anyplace near me, I'm going to get low to the ground, away from windows, and call 911 just so a police presence might patrol more closely, if nothing else. The next day, I'd check out the Kevlar offerings at my nearest Wal-Mart and start looking into other addresses, too.

suppose it'd depend where you lived... i mean the cops have came out after reports of gunfire, they patrol around, knock on the doors to the closest vicinity the caller believed the shots came from, then they leave....

couple of times within a matter of hours or even minutes it starts again....

i guess becuase of my experiences here i've pretty much given up on doing anything about it or expecting the cops to...

Seems more than a little strange that you would consider needing help as urgent, then post on a forum and wait answers the first of which took 5 minutes to arrive. In any situation that may involve firearms and since you heard shots it was a reasonable assumption that a gun or guns were involved you really must learn to think and act a lot quicker than 5 minutes, why would anyone not immediately phone 911 in this situation ? Unless you had comlete body armour and were extremely profficient with your own weapon my advice would be call the police (which in the UK take on average about an hour or so to arrive) then lay low and hide. Better a live coward than dead hero.

LMAO @ "learn to think and act a lot quicker"
Please make no mistake, as I am no fool. I was not sitting here peeping out of the blinds and waiting for an online community to help me decide my fate. I simply wanted a few quick second opinions. Have a little common sense man!! If I felt my life was in danger I would not have been sitting here typing away, I would have been returning fire while alerting the authorities immediately. And yes, I am quite proficient with my weapon.

well I'll put the LOL in for you....As I sit here with my first spliff of the day, rereading this post I am cracking myself up!! I was high as hell and guess I just freaked out, not having heard "random" gunshots from people I don't know in about 10yrs or so...But I guess everything was fine and the people in the next complex over must have been bad shots or something since there were no EMS dispatched and nothing was on the news this morning...I guess I've just got to get used to living in the city again (and IDK what kingk is talking about...phoenix is the 5th largest city in the US).

[geonagual]

I can tell your going to fit in real nice around here...here is some+ rep...phoenix is a big ass city and it is hot as hell

[Unknownfigure]

OK so I'm sitting here at the computer and I just heard about 7 gunshots coming from the apartment complex next to mine....do I call 911 or just get away from the windows?

Don't panic, they aren't shooting at you, obviously. You CAN call 911 if you REALLY want to, but it's probably not worth it. But then again, it's probably alot easier for me to say not to panic just because of a gunshot, I used to live in a pretty rough area. As long as they aren't shooting at you, don't worry about it.
