<human>: Can you give me a shortened version of the text?

This seems absurd, and I would probably find it funny if it hadn't happened to me.

My neighbor has been a bit of a neighborhood scourge for awhile. He sit on his porch drunk, shouting at traffic and passers-by. He's picked fights with kids and adults alike. He blasts loud music at all hours, and at least once passed out on his lawn in the early afternoon. We've called the police repeatedly.

Wednesday, I woke up to the sounds of two gunshots. Of course, I checked on my kids (they slept through it, fortunately), and then went outside. I saw my neighbor in his front yard, across the street, standing over his push lawnmower with a revolver. Being the articulate individual that I am, I shouted, "What the fuck, [name]!" As explanation, he offered "Goddamn thing won't fuckin' start."

Of course, I called the police. But when they took my report, they seemed to be more irritated that I called them about my neighbor than about the shooting. They told me that they'd "talk with him." But nothing else.

Is there really no statute that he violated? That seems absurd.
<bot>: My alcoholic, unstable neighbor shot his lawnmower because it wouldn't start, and the police seem unwilling to push the issue further.
