I live in the area behind the Magnolia Shopping Center close to the 101 Freeway and just heard two possible gunshots. Normally I would think it was a car backfiring but there were two distinct shots about 2-3 seconds apart. Anyone else hear this?

We live on the opposite side of the 101 and heard the same at 9:17 last night. I wasn’t sure exactly where the sound came from or what it was, but thought it could be gunshots as well.
It’s creepy how the local media and websites don’t report these things. I heard a helicopter circling west Goleta for 3 hours last night from 9pm-12am. Maybe it was related. But I don’t know. I even posted a question here on this site asking about the helicopter circling for hours and it never even appeared.
I’m curious why anyone should be surprised at the sound of gunfire in this day and age. The US has more guns on the street than people. Like it or not they are everywhere and get used quite a lot. Them’s the facts of life.
ocean drew remarks ” The US has more guns on the street than people…. ” Hopefully this is bit of an over statement.
We areabsolutely awash in firearms stupidity. There are over 390 million firearms (that we know of) owned by civilians in the US. That’s enough for every man, woman, and child, plus 67 million left over.
OCEANDREW. Your post makes it sound like you think that’s acceptable, for firearms to be “everywhere and get used quite a lot.” But I know you’re too smart to mean it that way.
BODYBUILDER73, your question about the helicopter is posted, with comments.
