A South Dallas neighborhood where residents say Fourth of July celebrations get out of hand took action to make it safer this year. They hired off-duty security to try to put a stop to the celebratory shooting and illegal fireworks.
Shirley Thomas is afraid a bullet might come through her bedroom window. After all, one came through her kitchen ceiling last year.
"To be in your house by yourself at 90 years old and you hear all this stuff popping – popping on your roof, popping on your porch. That is frightening," Allen said. "In an ideal world you pay your taxes, the police show up and everything’s great. But we’re not in an ideal world," said Andrew Moore, who lives in the area.
"I feel like if we’re paying the taxes, we should get the protection without having to pay extra. But I’m happy to pay extra if it takes care of my neighbors," Moore said.Dallas police said the option to have off-duty officers patrol is part of the expanded neighborhood patrol program.
