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...
