I should mention that our house is on a corner on an arterial street.
Literally every police car owned by the Galveston PD came down the street with lights and sirens going. One stopped in the middle of the intersection by our house. One went left, one went right, and the rest kept going.
The officer in front of our house told us to go indoors because "we don't know if he has a gun." We complied.
A few minutes later the police left and quiet returned.
I didn't find out what happened until this morning. Police had tried to stop a car half a mile from our house. The driver fled down a residential street and crashed a block from our house. The driver, a 26-year-old woman, fled on foot, leaving two children and eight ounces of marijuana in the car. She was caught in the neighborhood a few minutes later.
We now return to our regularly scheduled programming.

Whoa!
Thanks for sharing that, and for the reminder that its possible for "trouble" to find us, even in areas where we normally feel secure.
