Neighbors heard 3 shots, but no one called the cops

Twenty-three year old Rebecca Payne, a Northeastern University student was found shot to death in her apartment. She lived in a building, which housed other university students, elderly residents, and families with children. Apartment dwellers reported to police that they heard shots fired, but no one bothered to pick up the phone to call the police. We don’t call the cops anymore when we hear gunshots?

A Boston police spokesperson said it was not a high gun activity neighborhood, but someone who lives in the complex said he did not call the cops, because shots are heard periodically. He just shrugged it off. The maintenance man found her in her apartment. There is always the slim possibility that a phone call may have saved her life. READ MORE...
