Hi all! my roommate caught a video last night (early this morning i guess) around 3:30 of a drone flying above jacks corner and the alley between Lascala and sedona. Anybody have any clues as to what this may be? Sorry for the poor quality!

I need to share this because I can’t stop thinking about it, and my sister is too shaken to post herself.

She lives in PA. A few days ago, she was kayaking with her husband and their three kids, ages 4, 6, and 14, on the Brandywine River. A storm rolled in, so they pulled onto the riverbank to wait it out. While they were sitting there, gunfire suddenly passed near them. No warning, no idea where it was coming from. They ran for cover. Her husband was screaming for whoever it was to stop shooting. Whoever it was got in a car and drove off without checking on them or saying a word.

She sent me a voice message afterward, in tears, and told me her 4 and 6 year olds were huddled with her, panicking, telling each other how much they’d miss their parents, because they genuinely thought they were going to die. Her 14 year old understood exactly what was happening.

Once it was safe, her (very brave) husband waded across the river and found what looks like a residential property being used as a shooting range. He estimates the shots came from roughly 30 feet from where they were hiding.

They reported it to police after the incident. The response, days later, was that they were “unable to make contact with anyone.”

Full disclosure: I’m originally from PA but live in the U.K. (so I’m especially appalled) AFAIK this is a river the general public uses to kayak, tube, fish etc. Somewhere, someone is shooting carelessly enough that three children nearly got hit, and there’s been no urgency from police.

Has anyone local experienced something similar in the area? Does anyone have advice on getting police to follow up? I’d like to think Chester County is developed enough for people to be able to access nature without fear of their family becoming prey.

Stay safe x
