Glad that you're all okay!
that's what he said when the talked to the guy at the police station when he called. that kind of irresponsibility can result in death . and even the sargeant guy said that is why they need to announce themselves because IF Brian had fired he would have been within his rights as t hey were on our property ... at my door which was unlocked and did not announce who he was. I certainly have never felt more threatened in my life or that my life could have been in danger. for all we knew he was trying to break in or something. You don't prowl around someones yard and come to their back door at 2 am and not announce yourself.

When he asked if this was house 217 and I said no... he hightailed it off of our property pretty darn fast. He knew he was in the wrong.
