Never a dull moment living in the big city! Yipes! Well I'm glad no one or nothing was really physically damaged. The good news is that the chances of this happening again are probably very slim.

Thanks Steve, yeah, damage was minimal other than a broken window, guitar case and a small caliber slug buried in the plaster. You really gotta give it to these 90+ year old houses, it takes alot to get through a plaster and slat double wall. Like you, I'm betting that it's a slim chance of it happening again, and hoping that it's not some gang banger who got out of jail from when we cleaned this neighborhood up a few years back. I was kind of a prominent face during it within the neighborhood. Luckily my gun cabinet is almost as well stocked as my guitar locker :) Probably not though, those losers just usually move on when they get out. I'm in Detroit, southwest side.
