"A serious incident"?

I'd really love to know what had happened last night. Trenant Road, as mentioned in the following letter, isn't too far away from where I live. The letter that I'd found on my doorstep at around 11am was pretty vague. It just tells us that a serious incident happened on this road. How serious? Was a house broken into? Was someone badly beaten? Was someone killed? I wish they'd be more specific about what it was because everyone who gets that letter around here I'm sure are going to be as majorly curious as I am now. Well, I should say everyone who wasn't a witness to whatever event it was. The witnesses and those involved will know EXACTLY what happened.

Honestly, I wouldn't have really known there was a letter outside the door if it weren't for the 2 dogs barking. They were barking like crazy, and wouldn't be quiet. At first, I thought they were just barking because my brother and sister had just gotten home from doing my grandfather's shopping, but then, because they weren't being quiet, I walked into the hallway to see that my brother's car wasn't parked out in the driveway. I went downstairs to get the dogs to go into the lounge, and looked outside the front door to see what they were barking about since I couldn't see anyone walking off from out of the upstairs window. There was no one there either. Then I noticed the following letter on the floor.

Dear Sir/Madam

A serious incident has occured at/between 5pm and 8pm hours on TUESDAY 1st MARCH 2011 (date) at TRENANT ROAD, LOOE (location).

We are conducting house to house enquiries in the area to locate potential witnesses. Officers have called at your address today.

Alternatively, you can always contact CRIMESTOPPERS on 0800 555 111

I guess I could just ask the police if/when they call again. I'm not the only one in the house who is curious about it. Mom, brother and sister all read the letter and are wondering exactly what this "serious incident" is. That could basically be anything. Someone's place was smashed up, or someone got into a fight and was badly hurt, or someone was stabbed/shot and was badly hurt, or someone was murdered.

I hope that whatever happened, it wasn't so bad that someone died. I've read enough about death for today (See my previous entry for full details on those deaths).
