“From the darkness came the sound of a loud gun shot. I was terrified. I mean, can you imagine being woken up by a flipping gun shot, right in your home? My mom and I had both already gone to bed, and my dad and brother were on a backpacking trip. I tried to remember if I had heard anything before the gunshot, but I couldn’t recall anything.
