Closest I've been to a shooting
Forums › General Discussion › Closest I've been to a shooting-
45 minutes ago, an officer-involved shooting happened at my college. Not 200 yards away was I in my Political Science class across the parking lot. There's still a helicopter in the air and news vans in the other parking lot. Still, despite all this, there were no announcements or class cancellations, so half the college still doesn't know what happened, just going about their day nonchalantly.
Anyone else been near a live shooting? -
Yeah I was Spain this morning just cruising round with my Brens thought I'd shot an African king then all of a sudden a killer whale came outta no where and chopped me down

Try Affghanistan, or Iraq.
-
an actual shooting? about half a mile.
a robbery? about 15 feet

For some reason or other it seems I've had the bad luck of being involved in drive bys, shoot outs and the occasional show of arms. I've never understood why this happens in these streets of Chicago or why I get caught up in the middle of this stuff. Oh we'll, it is what it is.

DC sniper shootings. They shot a woman at a gas station as I was passing by. It was watching families run in a zigzag pattern to their cars at Safeway after buying groceries that was the surreal part...going to the mall, gas station, anywhere, wondering if you're gonna be next. Unreal experience.

About 2 or 3 years ago, My next door neighbor was shot 7 times by her ex husband while I was sleeping like 20 feet away. Sad thing was that their kids were home when he did it. Ended up getting all the way to Utah before a SWAT standoff where he killed himself.... The mother didn't survive :(

My neighbor across the street killed his mom and stuffed her in the freezer. I was about 6, a couple years ago the DA who prosecuted the case came into my Health class and told us about it.

I don't know how close I've literally been, no telling. But the aurora theatre mass murder was only several miles from my house.
I'm sure everyone has a story in the US. Hard not to when there's 300+ million guns on the street. ;)

I was standing about 15 ft from a guy who got shot in the head twice. It turned out that the victim was sleeping with the wife of the shooter who was his best friend. This was 16 yrs ago in Cayey, Puerto Rico.
About a year later a kid who sat behind me in math class ended up shooting his mom 6 times in the face. He wrapped her up in sheets, sprayed perfume all over the sheets and pinned her body up against the wall behind the couch. Oddly enough he came in to school the next day. He then fled to Philly where he was eventually caught. They didn't find her body until 3 or 4 days later. Sad story.

I have never been close to a shooting but I was about 500 feet away from a suicide bomber attack in London. That was almost 10 years ago but it still haunts me to this day

Was stopped at a convoy once in the Watapur Valley and had to piss. Got out and was doing my business when about six rounds landed all around me about three feet away. The truck took off without me or the other guy peeing on the other side and stopped after about 10 meters. Was not actually the closest call I've had just the funniest.Try Affghanistan, or Iraq.

Same. A buddy of mine was going to that showing for opening night and decided to go see it at Northglenn at the last minute.
Its amazing to think what seemingly little choices we make could in fact alter our entire lives.

I was riding my bicycle on a rails-to-trails path before it was finished and open to the public. I heard a harsh WWHHIIZZZZ next to my head. A couple seconds later, I heard a crack from a house up on a hill, not quite a half-mile away. I turned around and rode back as fast as I could. If you lived near me you wouldn't be surprised.

I've been shot by a bow but that's it not much gun crime in the UK
Pleeeenty of stabbings though -
There's been a shooting in my hometown once as far as I know, a dude waked into a local hair stylist and shot his ex wife. The police happened to be eating at subway on the other side of the street, they ran out and the dude just dropped his gun and submitted like he didn't care. Kinda sad :/
But, I shoot guns all the time and I will be conceal carrying as soon as I'm of age. All it took to prevent an attack with any sort of weapon wether it be a knife, bat, gun, etc was a good guy with a gun inside the building.
-
There's a club that keeps on closing and re-opening near my house, a crapload of stuff goes down there.
I'm also going to get concealed carry permits as soon as I can.

I worked the streets many years wore a bullet proof vest with a trauma plate and have been shot at a few times. Bullets hissing by you is a sound you'll never forget.

I was supposed to go to a poker game in the apartment next to me, but I declined because it didn't feel right to go. I shut the door and went to watch TV when shots started going off. My flat screen saved my life because it stoped a stray bullet that went through the shared wall. I found out later that my neighbor shot everybody in the apartment then himself. Eight of my best friends died that day.

Well there was three shootings on my street over the last 4 months

Friend of mine was screwing around with this guy's wife. They're on the couch all kissy face, I'm sitting across the room on a chair. Husband walks in, points a .22 rifle at my friend. Pulls the trigger, it goes CLICK! He didn't have a round in the chamber. We tackled him, took the gun away, tossed him out the door. He was all weepy and shit, we didn't have the heart to even beat him up.
