Resident urges action after repeated shots near homes; board urges 911 and enforcement
Summary
A resident from Base Castle area said neighbors discharge firearms near homes and urged education and enforcement; supervisors advised calling 911 for immediate incidents and suggested safety and enforcement follow-up.
Kimberly Bailey told the board she lives in the Base Castle area and described repeated firearm discharges near residential properties. Bailey cited Virginia guidance that discharging a firearm within 100 yards of a dwelling is generally prohibited and said neighbors "shoot whenever he feel like it," prompting concern for safety.
Supervisor Hardy and others urged Bailey to call 911 for immediate instances so law enforcement can investigate and to pursue formal complaints as appropriate. Hardy suggested insurance and enforcement departments can investigate and encouraged residents not to delay reporting immediate safety concerns.
No board action was taken during the meeting; supervisors advised residents to contact law enforcement for immediate safety threats and indicated staff could follow up on broader public-safety policy or education needs.
