"Man with a gun, shots fired" (Cop Chronicles #2)

Bad boys bad boys what you gonna do? If you are watching Cops on TV and the call comes in "Man with a gun, shots fired", what happens? Everything happens, code three, lights  and siren, extreme caution. That is what is supposed to happen, well at least they come check it out, right? Wrong. It all depends on where you live in CleburneTX as to what response you will receive. Apparently i do not live in that coveted wonderful and protected part of town. We do have Cops in our neighborhood, but that is not always a good thing. A couple of years ago while watching TV,(might have been Cops) i heard a gunshot, so i went outside to take a look. About a block and a half away across a vacant lot stood a man firing a pistol in the air. He took several shots, then he walked out of sight. While this was going on i called 911 and told them what was happening. Now keep in mind,this is only 5 or 6 blocks from downtown, and in a residential zone with children outside playing. Nothing, No response, not even a drive by, i called again, still no response. Now to put this in perspective, i went to Nicaragua earlier this year and i went to the airport with a friend of mine. My friend lives in a nicer part of town than i do. So at about 3:30am my son took me to his house to load and leave for DFW Airport. We weren't there 10 minutes before a cop rolled up to see why we were there.
