Never really thought about "distance" and differences that would make as to sound (why would that occur to me?) so thanks for pointing that out to me. Makes total sense to me.

You know, I've just been assuming the guy used a handgun. A rifle never occurred to me, but someone asked me what kind of gun was used, rifle or hand, but I don't know. I know zip about guns except there are rifles and handguns and what I call soldiers guns like now of course, thanks to MLU edumacation I can name bren guns and sten guns etc (makes me miss Rupert!!!) but I still don't know what they sound like in real life. TV shots is about all I have to compare things to and I'm sure the sounds are really different in real time.

All joking aside, this sucks here.

Ma, I'm so sorry to hear what happened in the apartment next to you, it must be tremendously distressing. My hope is that with the boyfriend gone to meet his maker, things will quiet doen for you, although they will never be the same again. Derek.

Thanks Derek, and yeah, I'm really sorry too, and yeah again, extremely distressing to me. I don't know if he passed away but judging by the woman Officers response when I asked her, I got the impression that it was pretty severe damage and iffy. Won't know anything until I get an update and I'm not about to go in search of updates. Am sure my landlord will call me and fill me in later. He's pretty upset about this stuff happening here too.

BTW, the guy is the pleasanter quieter one though explosive and obnoxious at times. Very quiet and pretty good around here when just him at home usually. If I had to choose, I would choose him as the neighbor over the woman any day.
