Dude (or dudette), erstwhile OP: I live in southern Cal now, but I'm from Detroit. Gun shots in close proximity in my old hood is called "Tuesday" if you know what I mean. Bad things happen everywhere, but fortunately your family was fine. Take the 5K points and be thankful you're all OK. Hopefully you took the kids to SeaWorld, the amusement park at Pacific Beach, Legoland and enjoyed the rest of your trip. Safe travels.
