I say that because as a electric company meter reader all meter readers during my years as a meter reader knew that anytime as we read the meters at that trailer park ... we could be in danger of being shot at or even shot. So, just because there was law enforcement patrolling in that area, does not necessarily indicate to me that the suspect was shooting just because an officer was in or around the trailer park. The last time I read meters in that trailer park was over 20 years ago and there was always a possibility of gun fire in that park. Point and fact ... during those years there was domestic violence in that park quite a bit! Now I personally was not ever shot at or had any trouble from the residents in the park, but a lot has changed in twenty years. People are upset, people are going through hard economic times and most importantly, people in general have lost their morals, some ... if they had any morals at all! I sincerely hope no one gets hurt or worse. Prayers going out to all individual's involved!
