No 911 call, no return fire, no nothing. My guess is that this guy really believed that: 1) anyone shooting at him was either not really after him personally, 2) he had bulletproof walls and windows in his house, 3) society in that area has devolved to such a state that random shootings are as common to them as telemarketers are to us, or 4) his story might have been stretched a bit. Further, why would any red-blooded American park his car on the street in such a rough area when there is a perfectly good, unused driveway just sitting there outside the house? Just my thoughts.
