True.

I was swatted. I had a puppy who was still in the barking and biting phase. My starting assumption was they'd shoot my dog.

Then I got conflicting instructions ("freeze!" and "lie down on the ground!"). And I thought, "Whelp, here it is."

Fortunately, we both lived. But it's sad that being shot in my driveway while wearing my PJs would be a "disappointed, but not surprised".
