True, but you can infer based on the geography. I'm not sure anybody living in that part of Rochester is not a felon.

I guess they wanted to run the headline before they even had a story to go with it..

I would like to think there is some key info missing for such a police response.

From the article:
“Police shut down several roads in the area, but all roads have been re-opened.
Officers are searching but have not found any firearms yet. A crisis negotiation team and SWAT team were brought to the scene as a precaution.”
WTF!? For reports of a shotgun in a house? I guess The police needed to dust off some equipment to justify having it.

Guys it’s rather safe to assume there is more to the story with nine cop cars (at least) responding simply because somebody was seen with a gun in their own home.

The fucking PANIC squad out in full force. It’s reported this way 100% intenionally to reassure the panic stricken sheep watching and listening that All that can , IS being done to ensure their safety.

It's very common for the media to misreport stories, to make it look like you can get arrested just for owning a gun.
Plenty of people who will fall for it. How many of us routinely take the media at their word on subjects we are not too familiar. They lie and misinform pretty much on everything. Politics, world affairs and history.

No, actually, nowadays it is NOT safe to assume anything.
Unwarranted, irrational, and unbelievable overreactions by certain members of the populous have become all too common. In a world where people call the police because their hamburger was made wrong, or freak out because something might resemble the silhouette of a gun, I could seriously believe this response was due to someone's over reaction.
closing off a bunch of streets because someone might have seen something that resembles a gun in someone's home? you honestly can say that should be NORMAL?????

I didn't say it was normal. That's why I think there is more to this story than we're being told. I sure hope there is.

Yeah Blimey, I hope there is more than we are being told, much more, and justification for what, from an old school American, looks like a police state. Though I highly doubt it.

OMG, they actually closed off several roads??? Even IF this was a felon, who shouldn't be around firearms, and there actually was a shotgun (not quite sure how the other guy could tell just by looking through a window, UNLESS he was really "looking"!!), did they really need to close down the "several" streets.
There were no firearms found, yet a person is in custody (I certainly hope it was the nosy EF-er that "tipped" them off!!).
Felon or not, this shouldn't have happened. If he truly did not have any guns in the house, then this is total bullshit!! This can happen to any 1 of us, if some asshole decides to make a bullshit claim on us. It is ridiculous. I don't have the answers, but sooner or later someone if going to get killed with this shit. It may be some poor guy sitting at home with his Family, OR some LEO responding, but either way, .....you can bet it will turn deadly!!

Just heard on the radio the 56 year old man was charged with menacing ? Still no more info other than neighbor seeing what seemed to be a shotgun in the home .
Menacing seems to be a charge that is thrown around Lightly , however it has serious implications.
