”I don’t know how many I heard, a few, at first, and then a second or so of silence, and then pow, pow, pow pow. And I thought ‘That’s not fireworks.’ I looked at the clock, and it was 1:24 a.m. I hope everything is OK,” said a resident living on the 100 block of West 14th Street, which is between Maple and Washington avenues.
