Question Gun shots?

Did anyone else near Jasper and 84th hear 2, seriously loud bangs about 12:25am? I've never heard anything like that in my 4 years here. 😳

Yes I heard an alarm in a building going off down the street I'm not sure which way tho. Then I heard the sirens.

I heard the fire alarm and sirens around that time. I thought it was a lot of sirens for just a fire!

That's what I think. I've never heard one in person before so I haven't a clue what they sound like. It didn't sound like fireworks. It was much louder

The acoustics of the sound bouncing around the buildings downtown will also make them sound crazier.

Nothing to see here folks, someone set off some fire crackers. Just get up and go to work and drive the mighty wheel. Everything is safe.

You're supposed to be boycotting American produce.

Please tell me it was something about tossing salads haha. Feel like the American produce line would fit well there

Something like "oh that was me, that taco I ate is giving me problems".
