Why do the police not respond?

Posted

On Saturday, June 3, on Herron Road, we were subjected to four hours of loud, booming gunfire close to our property, including rapid-fire weapons and rifle shots. These people were trespassing on someone’s property and obviously had no concern about the racket they were making. We called the police, but nothing was done to curtail this obnoxious pastime. The area is supposed to be a no shooting zone.

We treasure our peaceful environment here and were outraged by the violation of local laws and infringement of our serenity, let alone safety, by these people. What can be done to enforce the rules that are in place to make this area safe and free from this intrusion on our and all of our neighbors’ privacy and peace? Why do the police not respond?
