**Many people wanted me to post an update if anything happened, so here I am**
ETA: To anyone telling me to move, we're working on it. Original thread from the last time we got shot at (including videos of the last drive by): https://www.ar15.com/forums/t_1_5/1809124_.html Drive-by on our house (Again) - Angle 2 04/18/17 Drive-by on our house (Again) - Angle 1 04/18/17 Last drive by shooting: Drive-by on our house - Angle 1 11/6/15 The gun shots happened off camera, but you can see the concrete breaking into small bits and flying away where rounds hit the house. This happened last month. I hate to say it, but it wasn't too eventful this go around. We got shot at and that's that. My mom, little brother and I were all talking in the living room. We heard about 5 shots and started scrambling (I went for the AR down the hall). The whole "lay down when you hear shots" doesn't really work out when you're getting shot at. Kind of like "stop, drop and roll". I got the rifle, chambered it and looked outside. Nothing. The car that shot us sped so fast down the street. We called the cops. They told us that we were making things up and didn't get shot at because "pistol rounds make holes through brick walls". We found once .40S&W shell casing. Most likely, shell cases ejected into his car and the drive was shooting one handed. So far, shell cases we've found on our street: .40S&W .380 5.56 12GA (not a case, but you get it) All in all, not to eventful this go around as the first time. We're used it at this point and the Cops didn't really help us out. |

What the hell kind of area do you live in? I'm in Chicago and don't deal with that crap.
Glad you guys are ok. |
|
Did you grow up there or move there recently? Either way, glad to hear that you and yours are safe. I don't want to sound cold or as though I don't understand, but you really have to find a way to move. |

Damn yeah might be time to move...
Can you stay somewhere else till you figure something out? Family or friends? |
|
One day, there will be justice. I don't know if it will be at the hands of OP, the police, or biology. But I have the feels.

You need a camera setup that will get a license plate.
When you have a license plate number of who did it, get a restraining order asap. |
|
Go to your local news. Tell them the cops refuse to help you.
They'll love a shot like this, except with the empty shell casings obviously Attached File |

Ahhh the thin blue line protecting and serving it's citizens well.
|
|
You again.
you need to move. Or make friends down the street and set up cameras that can get some better quality pics to destroy that public menace. |
|
You should at least gather the evidence like cops with gloves and bag it . Fingerprints can be gotten off of spent cases . You might want to get a steel front door . What is the back story ? People normally do not shoot at random houses over and over again . Might want to mount a camera or 2 on the mailbox to get a tag number

What in the hell? Drive by shooting for putting trash out? This world has some odd folks.
|
|
I'd sell at a loss and gtfo of there. if i remember correctly this started after you put trash out for pickup on the wrong day?
|
|
Looks like a newer charger from the taillights...you piss off any cops?
|
|
I read the comments involving this video alone. Easily some suspects. Me thinks you jawed back and forth with someone online or locally and they've taken it to the next level. Besides you've put yourself out there.

So this is a sorta new story...... with 25% new story added, and 75% old story.

the taillights in the latest vid look like a 2014 dodge charger. The vid from last year was also a Dodge product (Ram 1500). Start driving a grid pattern in your hood
|
|
i would be putting up Dummy cameras all over. Maybe at least make them fear getting caught till you can unass that house
|
|
They seem to like coming at around the same time each time.
Wait in ambush with a rifle and respond accordingly next time. |
|
You should put the trash out on the wrong day and camp outside
|
|
If I put my trash out on the wrong day I get a warning and then a $60/day fine. Sounds like your neighborhood is more interesting than mine!
