Apparently we also had a shooting here 11 days ago. The block and street
looked extremely close. I looked it up and under the map was a pic of my
house, next door neighbor's house and Angela's car. Say what? I saw nothing
on FB or on the news about this. I got an e-mail from spotcrime.com. Lovely!
There is a disclaimer that the pic is not necessarily the actual address.
