Going back to The Eighties, a friend of mine had a Staffordshire Terrier that 'turned' at 2 years old. It bit the head off of a Yorkshire Terrier on Dawsons Heights and had to be destroyed. Since the deaths of three toddlers in the past five years from Pitbull attacks there are stringent rules about the keeping of some types of dog, Staffys being one of them. If the police refuse to act on this they should be chased and made to. As much as I like all Bully breeds, a wrong'un is a bad dog to have around the area.
Colleauge of a friend had twin girls, eldest was Ella, youngest Samantha. She'd never turned the names around, Sam & Ella, (Salmonella). Daughter went to school with twins named Windy & Breezy, surname....Fairweather. I kid you not.

Scary, > but I'm sure it's an isolated incident. To guage where it was fired from you'd have to find where in the house the projectile hit. Draw a line from the place it hit, wall or whatever, to the broken pane of glass and continue it on out. This was obviously not a high velocity weapon (it would have caused more damage) so the sniper would be close to the target (within 50 yards say). If there's any chance this was a firearm, the police will call in a forensics team.

I thought Lockharts was a toy shop? I remember Mrs Lockhart very well, as you say, disorganised so it may well have sold stationary too.
