Anybody hear shots just now?

From Phil:
Heard what sounded like a gun shot – shot fired – (I know to use that over shooting now) around 940p. It sounded as though it was coming from just north of George Mason school.
Heard 2 police cars shortly thereafter.
Would be interested to know what happened. Shots? Fireworks?
Fireworks…? Yea, that was probably it [she said dryly].
One thing that’s bothered me over the years has been hearing gunshots and then silence afterwards. Usually nobody gets killed, but still.
A neighbor once told me that one or two shots is kids goofing around. It’s an exchange or multiple shots that you’ve got to be worried about. Obviously, we want NO shots but I thought it was an interesting observation.
Did you call the police? Always call for gunshots and use 911. I did not hear the shots, but I always call. Someone’s life may be on the line. And if, not you are no doubt yelling to stop a potentially bad situation.
That was supposed to be “calling” not “yelling”. I have no idea what I typed that autocorrect did that to!
