I was house sitting for my Son this last weekend. He lives in an up scale neighborhood south of Tucson, Sahuarita. Many, if not most of the residents are involved in law enforcement, including my Son. His next door neighbors, and those across the street are DEA, BP, ect, so you would think it's a pretty quiet neighborhood.
On the evening of the 4th I heard the expected sounds of fire crackers going off all around. Then late into the night and long after most of the fireworks had subsided, I heard what I knew to be gun shots coming from a few houses away. I still didn't get too alarmed, as I just figured it was some idiot celebrating with his guns. But then I heard a bunch of yelling and women screaming. I looked out my window and saw people running down the street screaming and then more gun shots, then sirens. As it turned out, the folks down the way were having a big 4th of July party. Several of the party goer's got into an argument which escalated to a gun fight.
Fortunately, no one got hurt, but there were multiple cars shot up, and with windows shot out, and at least one house was pretty shot up also. From what I understand, a couple of people were arrested and charged with endangerment, discharging a firearm in the city limits, and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
This community has been rated as one of the safest in Pima County, yet it has experienced multiple deadly events, home invasions, kidnappings, and burglaries. My point being, you can't judge a neighborhood by it's appearance or it's rating.
