then, at about 5am I heard the most hauntingly beautiful singing - not words, just tonal. it was stunning. my husband heard it too - he thought it was in his dream. walked around the neighborhood this morning and didn't see anything...

As far as the response time is concerned, the police are not Psychic so they can only respond when someone makes them aware that theres someting going on. Most people hear gun fire and ignore it unless it involves them directly. Lets not be so hard on the NYPD , Our precinct is working with a very limited amount of officers. If you really want to make a difference write to Ray Kelly and ask him for more officers.

Anon- you are right about that, I thought twice about writing it since I couldn't even be sure the sirens were in response to the shots, and I often see cops walking down Fulton, so there is a presence and they are doing a good job in an extremely difficult position (I really have no idea even what it might be like).

I think the best thing to do is to attend community board meetings, and block association meetings to ensure that we are all working towards the same end.

Heynow, thanks for the note, it might have been the mosque right down the street, but it was a single female voice and I could have sworn she was walking down our street. Again, haunting and beautiful.

Did anyone find out anything about the shots we heard?

dear guest (any chance you want to make a sign-in name?)

please keep posting the community & precinct meetings, people should know about them.

thanks
