At an apartment complex about 0.l mile from me.

2am

I happened to be up and about and at first heard what I thought were fireworks as from time to time some knucklehead resident there finds it convenient to shoot off a silver salute, etc. in the middle of the night. But it became immediately apparent that this wasn't fireworks and I distinctly heard full-auto pistol fire toward the end of the disturbance which in total lasted no longer than 30 seconds.

Betting someone had a Glock switch with a 33-rd "stendo" magazine and possibly more than one.

Massive LE presence for several hours. For the most part that complex is reasonably quiet and at least two LEO's live there. I say "reasonably" as there are at least 2-3 gunfire incidents there a year. 25 years ago that complex and others nearby were mostly .mil but they're gone and replaced by much richness and vibrancy.

Life goes on.

I'm betting the local media will report nothing unless someone got shot/killed.

A group of investigators are currently over there looking for more evidence.

You see any federal agencies ?

The FBI will often show if there is a death.

I haven't seen any Feds/SLED or their trademark vehicles.

A very small news article appeared locally. No injuries or fatalities.

Ah, so a it used to be referred to in Brooklyn, it was merely recreational gunfire.

This.

Rumor has it that about 300 "switches" were sold online before the BATFE shut things down. I'd say that at least a few were measured with calipers or CMMS before they were turned in. So some are domestic and others probably walk across Biden's border in a backpack.

The rage over assault rifles overlooks the fact that presently the preferred gangbangers weapon is a 33 rd mag equipped Glock 17 with a "switch".  

A MACHINE PISTOL in other words. Who would have thought it?

No arrests made so far but I suspect that some of the perps were also involved in the shootout at the Backyard Bar and Grill incident 3 weeks later.
