Well, it happened again. Another night of multiple gunshots in the neighborhood. Started early this time. At least 15+ shots around 11:30pm. Listening to the scanner, the PD dispatchers were getting calls from a wide area in the north & south western part of town... so it may have possibly been a rolling gun fight... or just a large wild party and the shots were echoing. Police spoke with a lot of people who heard the shots, but have yet to locate their source.

It was kind of funny to listen to the PD officers car-to-car chatter. They were driving around the area looking for the shooter..... and there were a lot of people coming out of their houses into their yards looking around to see what was going on. Just added to the confusion the officers were having to deal with. Even though I'm heavily armed, if someone is shooting just out side of my home, I'm certainly not going to rush out into the dark in order to see what is going on. The PD officers were wearing bullet proof vests and being highly cautious.. whereas these sightseers were being carefree as could be. Put 10 of them together and you'd have a hard time finding any intelligence between them.

Earlier, there had been 3 shots fired out not to far from the main gate of Altus Air Force Base. Gate guards reported hearing the shots and the whiz of a bullet.

Hmm, I live on Taft. What time were the shots reported by the base? What area are you defining as NW? From Broadway to say, Bradford?

Bradford & Crain area south to Walker area. Around 11:30 pm. Shots near the base probably happened around 10:45 PM-ish.

Today the PD & Sheriff seem to be looking for some idiot that broke onto a PD officer's home looking for guns. Apparently hit & run a vehicle in the get away. LEO's have the truck involved stopped on E. Broadway right now. Wasn't but a week or 2 ago a PD officer's house was broken into around 3am with him & his family at home. The Bad Guys are getting bolder these days. If they will break into a LEO's home, they will most certainly break into Joe Citizens home too.

I grew up in Altus and still make the occasional trip back down to visit my mom. Didn't realize it was getting this bad. Truly thought you were talking about OKC until you said something about Altus AFB.

I wondered why there was two sheriff's deputies and three APD there. That makes more sense than a minor traffic stop. Guess ill have to be on more of a defensive mind set now.
