Heard Possible Air Rifle Shots Near Fry’s Island While Walking With My Baby – Anyone Else Notice Something?

Hi all,

Just now, (around 8:30pm), I was walking with my daughter in the baby carrier, trying to get her to sleep. We were near the bushes on the Caversham side, close to Fry’s Island, when I suddenly heard what sounded like two air rifle shots.

I turned toward the sound and saw a boat on the Fry’s Island side—someone was closing what looked like a hatch or top door. Just before that, I’d heard something brushing through the bushes near me, which startled me. There were ducks and ducklings right around that area, so I wonder if someone might’ve been aiming at them.

Because I was with my baby, I didn’t stick around or investigate further—I just walked away quickly and didn’t really look back. It felt a little suspicious, but maybe I’m overthinking it?

Just curious—did anyone else hear or see anything unusual around that time?
