After yet another 4 a.m. shootout this one leaving roughly 40 shell casings scattered across both sides of Aurora, bullets tearing through homes and parked cars neighbors on N 97th, 98th, and 102nd streets hauled out planter boxes, corrugated metal, and mounds of dirt to physically block criminals from using residential side streets as getaway routes. They didn’t ask permission. They didn’t file paperwork. They acted because, by their own account, the city had abandoned them.
