Monday night gunfire @ Cotton Valley

Anyone hear it? It sounds pretty random ... 4 shots in 2 hours or so that I've heard. Doesn't sound like violence; no raised voices, no cars zooming to and fro, just the occasional pop. I was wondering if someone was rounding up all the stray cattle, at long last.

Well I heard a total of 6 shots between 5:30 and 7:30 pm and they moved progressively to the east towards the pasture, which is why I suspected someone was herding the loose cows back home. If so, it wouldn't be the first time.

Heard it. It sounded very random to me too - I thought someone was taking pot shots at a stray or something. Odd.

i have heard the shots many times through the years. and sometimes late late at night and i know not herding cows.

i think they (not sure who) just like to drive through different hoods to remind us "they" are here and can do it if they want too.

does no good to call police.
