Unbelievable the idiots trying to tell you what to do, scare you off, or make you prove where you live. They can GFO if they don't want to accept your story. There's nothing over the top, the tone is moderate and seems plausible. Not everyone is a great speller, some are dyslexic you asshats, or come from families that use slang, like in the South. (Y'all I reckon... Etc.)

Thanks for the birds' eye view, nice to hear some background & the firehouse story & cop in the road is interesting. Any cop called to a shooting at a school would have heard all the details of why he was there.
