Saturday, March 1st, at about 5:00pm, the sound of gunfire reverberated around Oak Meadow Circle. For the next hour-and-a-half we heard at least three weapons, one a semi-automatic, fire dozens of rounds. As far as we could tell, the shooters were just south of us off CR 129. At one point I called the sheriff’s department and was told that unless the rounds were hitting our house, there was nothing they could do.
We love our peace-and-quiet here in Country Place and it was very unsettling to hear this kind of commotion so nearby. It served as a reminder, though, that we really do live in a “country” place.
[Some time after this post, we learned that Earl Drott, who lives in the neighborhood, hosts the Boy Scouts on his acreage south of Coutry Place so that they can earn their Riflery badges.]
