5 ░░░░░░░░ A M I heard ░░░░░░░░ gun shots on second ░░░░░░░░ which is right in ░░░░░░░░ of where I live ░░░░░░░░ live above the old ░░░░░░░░ factory on the second ░░░░░░░░ and I heard gunfire ░░░░░░░░ I got up and ░░░░░░░░ out the window and ░░░░░░░░ didn t see anything ░░░░░░░░ saw some snow on ░░░░░░░░ cars so I just ░░░░░░░░ back into my other ░░░░░░░░ of the apartment and ░░░░░░░░ back to bed I ░░░░░░░░ more gun shots and ░░░░░░░░ did hear some kind ░░░░░░░░ noise like somebody talking ░░░░░░░░ it was inaudible I ░░░░░░░░ t understand what they ░░░░░░░░ saying and I really ░░░░░░░░ t want to get ░░░░░░░░ out of the bed ░░░░░░░░ I just put the ░░░░░░░░ over my head and ░░░░░░░░ within like 10 minutes ░░░░░░░░ was just the most ░░░░░░░░ explosion that just blew ░░░░░░░░ entire apartment completely to ░░░░░░░░ David it looks like ░░░░░░░░ aren t going to ░░░░░░░░ able to live in ░░░░░░░░ apartment right now I ░░░░░░░░ we could hear the ░░░░░░░░ flowing apparently pipes burst ░░░░░░░░
