See No Evil, Et Cetera

The Daily News crime blog, Philly Confidential, recently reported a few extra facts about a shooting last week.

The shooting, which occured June 15, began when a man was sitting on his step with his baby. Then a guy came up and fired 50 shots. Quite a story, eh? Well here’s what happened when the reporters and cops showed up:

“I didn’t even know someone got shot,” one wrinkled woman said with a straight face, even though her porch was about 30 yards from the shooting. You didn’t hear the first shot? The fortieth? “No, I only heard the cops when they got here.”

When Philly Confidential overheard another woman telling her friends about what she heard and/or saw, we ambled over. Turns out we must have been imagining things. “I was inside,” was her curt response. “Why, did something happen?”

In the interest of not snitchin, I think I’ll leave this one without a punchline.
