My neighbors acroos the street shot off their weapon (gun) 7 rounds a few minutes later (3) fired off another 7 rounds.

Question

approximately 10:45 p.m. The next day i noticed a hole in my svreen and window leading to my livingroom. The ricocheded bullet only went through the screen and first glass. I notified the police. The officer took a report and picture of the window, then left. Looking into the replacement of the window I took the screen off and noticed the bullet. Called thr responding Officer back. He took the bullet out and placed it in a paper sack with his glove wrapped around it, turned it into the detectives. It's now a week later and no responce from the detectives or no personal questioning of the neighbors to my knowledge. I have PTSD/Anxiety and have not slept well since the icident. Should they have interviewed the neighbors and done a perliminary search of the property by now. They have a target on their fence. This is a residential neighborhood with children. How much longer should I wait for a response? NOTE: Prior to this my daughter was sitting in my livingroom where the bullet hit.

You should contact the detectives to see if they have any updates or suggestions. They generally want to help and want to get to the bottom of the matter, but they may have additional cases to investigate in front of yours. If you hear gun shots, call 911 and report it immediately. There may be more an attorney could do for you in the form of civil, injunctive relief that you may be able to pursue, so contacting a civil attorney may prove beneficial to you. But as far as the detectives go, you will need to call and follow up with them.
