Glad to see you're getting involved in local civics. The sum total of my involvement in local civics was to watch a TV cable-cast of a zoning commission discussion of some random building permit. Watching paint dry is more interesting.
By the by, we had our own "shots fired" incident in Boulder Creek. Could have had something to do with the alleged meth kitchen down the hill. A local crazy lady built an illegal road to some lots that aren't safe to build on and allegedly has some armed Santa Cruz Hillbillies (tm) guarding the place, and cooking meth in their spare time. Allegedly.
Or it might have been someone taking shots at a coyote. But I have my doubts about the later. Coyotes, and probably even racoons, are smart enough to git after a single shot. No need to keep plinking for half a hour.
I got the news of the shots while driving home, and stayed on the line until the cell signal died in a canyon. When I arrived, no patrol car was in evidence. A similar incident in my Silcon Valley town would have resulted in a phalanx of blue. Things are diff'rnt in the mountains.
