CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas â Donna Morgan hoped the popping sound that woke her up Monday morning was someone getting an early start ringing in 2021. Weâre getting so close to New Yearâs Eve when people are buying firecrackers again, she said. The way it went off, it almost sounded like when you have a whole string of firecrackers and somebody pops them all.
It wasn t firecrackers.
What Morgan heard were gunshots several of which hit the house directly behind her home. It was very upsetting to think somebody was in our neighborhood shooting off a gun, and somebody could have gotten killed, she said.

Crestview Area Shelter for the Homeless
While the Crestview Area Shelter for the Homeless has more than a dozen clients staying at the facility, it provides food and assistance to more than 60 homeless people throughout the week and serves as a cold weather shelter.
“They all want hoodies or sweatshirts, jackets, gloves, hand warmers, knit stocking caps and ChapStick,” Ann Sprague, executive director of the Crestview shelter, said Wednesday. “They would also love to have gift cards, such as $5 cards to McDonald’s and Taco Bell.”
Sprague said while the Florida Department of Health in Okaloosa County gave the shelter numerous masks to help protect their clients during the COVID-19 pandemic, the shelter is in need of large and extra-large masks.
