DUCK! Close Call at Washington's Headquarters

I was strolling past Washington’s Headquarters recently when Revolutionary War re-enactors began firing their blunderbusses. (Read the Times Herald-Record’s coverage at http://bit.ly/2sH0fb4.) Of course, I realized it was all part of a re-enactment only after diving between two parked cars (old habits die hard). But then, as I continued strolling to the Library to hear City Historian Mary McTamaney’s great presentation on Urban Renewal, all I could think of was: Is the City’s ShotSpotter technology disabled while re-enactors are shooting? Or will cop cars be zooming around the corner every time George beats Cornwallis?

Make sure ShotSpotter is turned off before you fire those things, guys!
