Turns Out...
The events from yesterday in our normally quiet neighborhood unfolded thusly. I had previously stated that I had heard helicopters, gunfire and sirens; well two people were shot and 23 illegal immigrants were being held against their will in a human smuggling ring. They were all arrested and turned over to INS.
I sat there watching the news with my mouth gaping wide open while trying to talk to the mil on the phone. She was watching the same news program as I was. Their house was heavily featured in the background of Fox26 News, mostly because it was only 2 houses down from where all of this took place.
The people that had the ambulance at their house at the end of our street started the whole investigation, one of them was shot. Thankfully, no one was killed. This whole thing really creeps me out, because we walk by those houses all the time to get to Dave's folks.
You know how when they get someone from the 'hood to speak on camera and they say that the neighborhood is usually quiet or nobody knew this was happening, that was all of our thoughts. We had NO IDEA that something like this was going on in our little neighborhood; perhaps that's why they chose our 'hood. Of course, we do have plenty of pedestrian traffic throughout the day because there are some apartments behind our subdivision. There is always somebody or groups of some bodies walking down Sandpiper, we just figured that they came from the apartments.
This is just wild and I am amazed that it happened and that no more people got injured than who did. Here's the link if you want the AP version.

Human smugglers are vermin.
There was a case over here were 30 Chinese illegal immigrants suffocated in the back of a container truck.
The bastards also lure Eastern European girls to enslave in the sex industry.
I am horrified! I watched it on Channel 13 news last night and I thought about you and your previous post!
Thank God those people are free and no one was killed!
There were two people shot and this all happened close to the pil. It was by the grace of God that more bullets didn't go into other houses.
Human smugglers are vermin.
