Wasn't Heather the one who called the police, making the introduction of a possible firecracker necessary in not filing a false police report?
Heather got the cops involved against Arts wishes, after he told her about the threatening phone call. Art only reported the occurrence to the police because of Heathers actions, but he didn't want any further investigation into the matter. The threatening call happened somewhere around the time his internet connection was vandalized, and the first shooting with multiple shots fired from a car, which rapidly fled the scene.
As I roughly recall the publicly known timeline reported to us by Art/Heather went something like this... Though I could be wrong. Because it would require me to give way more fucks than I really should over such pulp fiction schlock, IMO.
-Arts internet connection was "tampered" with preventing him from doing 1 or 2 shows until it was fixed.
-The first shooting with multiple shots fired happened during MitD, Art didn't hear any shots because he was wearing headphones, and doing a show. The next door neighbor heard the shots, and called the police and Art. The neighbor reported hearing multiple shots fired next to the Bells property, the shooter immediately fled in a car. Art put the show on hold playing music. While he checked on his family, they didn't seem bothered enough to call the police, or Art over the occurrence. Art talked to the neighbor an the cops about what happened, said his family and property seemed okay. The music break ended, show restarts. Art proceeds to relay roughly the above.
-The mouse shows up, and disappears just as quickly.
- Art tells the audience a shadow person story. Stating that a few weeks prior to MitD starting, he saw a shadow person in the studio/guest house. Wherein Art proceeds to conduct a shadow person hunt across his entire compound, Glock at the ready.
- We find out that Art got a threatening phone call demanding he stop MitD or be harmed. Which he didn't report to the police, but did tell Heather his producer. Heather reported Arts phone threat to the Pahrump police. Which forced PPD to follow up on the report. When questioned Art told the cops what they wanted to know, and declined any further investigation into the matter.
-Art hears someone outside the window of his studio/guest house during preparations for MitD. Art opens the door, steps outside into the darkness lit only by a porch light glaring into his eyes. Art catches a quick glimpse of a person disappearing around the corner of the house. Bell takes aim with a Glock, but alas isn't fast enough. Art proceeded to relay said story to the world around an hour or two after it happened. Followed up with Art directing everyone to look at a new post on his Facebook account. Which contained a picture of his Glock with a time stamped hand written post-it note attached. Proving he was ready to take on all who dared. Don't remember if he reported this to the police or not. Maybe someone else knows?
-Art gets "shot" at instantly drops to the ground, takes cover and lies still. Fearing for his life, and his families lives, he proceeds to fire off a light beacon AKA: his iPhone. Rendering the cover of darkness almost useless. Bell contacts his wife using Wi-Fi, so she can call the police. Art didn't have cell reception at the time. (He must have been holding iPhone wrong.) Wife called the police. Wife in a panic scares the otherwise unwitting child. Art and family wait for the other shoe to drop for 10-20 minutes. All the police sirens create even more trauma for the child, many tears were shed that night. Trained professionals rapidly blazing into a sniper/shooter/stalker situation with as many lights and sirens as possible making themselves a target, giving up all tactical advantage. All hands braced for a life and death situation, as they secure and lock down the scene. Then the other shoe drops. "MAYBE IT WAS A FIRECRACKER." Many cops eyes rolled upon hearing that statement. All the manpower and angst brought about to catch a shooter/sniper/stalker. Only to discover a scared old man, who might have panicked over a firecracker going off, on government owned land in the distance. MitD went into reruns for a few nights. We all found out about the incident a few days later. MitD with Art Bell is basically over.
-Much drama ensued before and after The Global Super Quitting VII. Or is it IX, I can't keep count anymore? Which was mostly fueled and controlled by a successful Marconi Award winning media veteran of radio. Art was fully in control the medium and the message every step of the way, from start to finish.
-Heather is still filling in for Arts MitD, two years on. Mr.Bell assures us Ms. Wade is getting better every day. Art and Heather don't understand why some folks ain't buying what they are selling.
-The End-
... or is it?
... meh
