My first thought wasn't "go kill someone". I listened. Heard a paperbag being set down, then the gate opening again. Figured someone was leaving something. Peaked out the door and called the UberEats guy back to tell him wrong address.

Yes, it was scary but going for lethal response? and in this Texas case, it was before 6PM!!!
