Probably someone illegally hunting in the woods to the north of the school or some kids being kids. I grew up roaming about those woods, as a young kid who attended the old Assembly of God church there at the corner of Neal and 95A. We had all sorts of boyhood adventures back there…which may have included some rifles, saws, bows and arrows, bowie knives, and bonfires.
