Gunshots Sound Like Hammers

That is a fun fact I discovered today during the drive-by shooting that occurred on our street. Tim and I were in the kitchen eating lunch when we heard what sounded like loud hammering. He looked out the window a few minutes later and noticed three cop cars in front of our house. He went outside to see what was going on and to see if he could get some information from one of the cops. Our next-door neighbors that share our duplex actually happened to be outside when it happened, so they had to talk to the cops for a while to give their statements. They told Tim that two cars were driving down the street, going in opposite directions, when one pulled out a gun and shot at the other. We're all assuming that there were no injuries since both cars immediately drove away. The cops said that there were 8 to 10 shots fired, and they found the casings just 2 houses down from ours. Now I know to hit the deck if a black Dodge Neon or a red Chevy Malibu drives by again!
