Shots Fired

I am up way too early this morning because my wife asked me "did you hear that?" Yes, I heard a couple of loud booms, but I didn't think anything of it. She also heard somebody yelling "come out". So I opened the window by my side of the bed and looked outside, and now I can hear someone yelling. Oh, look, here comes a helicopter. He's still flying around out there, I can hear him. Whatever it was happened within a half-mile to the Northeast of me, somewhere around Evergreen Junior High School, after that it's just fields.


Update Saturday May 30th: They weren't shots, they were stun grenades. The newspaper calls them concussion charges:

Morning drug raids rattle Hillsboro

Helicopters, concussion charges and sirens abounded around the Hillsboro area Thursday morning as narcotics detectives and special weapons forces with the Westside Interagency Narcotics Team served five search warrants as part of an ongoing large-scale investigation involving cocaine trafficking.

Raids were conducted in unincorporated Washington County north of Hillsboro, Cornelius and Hillsboro, said Washington County Sheriff's Office Sgt. David Thompson.

No arrest numbers were immediately available, but the WCSO plans to announce the breadth of the investigation at a press conference Wednesday, June 3.

I hope they weren't concussion grenades, those are lethal. Note that the word is grenade, not gernade.
