When that Persian man SPOILERS...

... shot at, even with, SPOILER ALERT, blanks, at the father locksmiths character and he was holding his daughter with a very distraught emotional look on his face shown in close up zoom, why couldn't...

Any of the people nearby hear it and ultimately say come out of their houses to have a look or even call the police etc?

Did the police even get called to that scene? And if so, did they catch up with that man at all to at least attempt to charge him with attempted murder?

Cause it looked like he stayed with his gun in the middle of that "street" for at least a good few minutes in plain sight without so much as making his attempt to escape and run away (and it was broad daylight as well).

And later, SPOILER, we saw him with his daughter, I also wonder, did he even realize that his own grown up daughter had specifically bought and loaded his gun for him with blanks? And do you think he simply will get away with it and maybe try to start over, then again, given some blatantly obvious examples of police either incompetence or downright lewd conduct we have seen throughout this movie, it'll come as no surprise if the cops will ultimately let his incident slide, after all, he didn't even physically injure anyone with his gun. But still, he was in the wrong though.

Anyways...

They were all in the wrong and in the right, I think this is the purpose of the film.
Matt Dillon - abusing his power as a police officer to harrass anyone who doesnt comply, esp. black people, yet does everything in his power to not let a woman die.
Ryan Phillippe - does everything he can to defuse racist situations, inexperienced, ends up killing a man by reacting too fast.
Ludacris - thief by day, propaganda about racism, liberates the asian people from the van
Sandra Bullock - terrified and racist white woman ends up realizing not all white people are great and not all black / mexican / other races are criminals
Brendan Fraser - sees nothing but his own political agenda ahead, cheats on wife
Don Cheadle - good and responsible detective ends up sending someone to jail to serve the system for his own gain (his brother getting a jail free card) and yet his brother ends up dying anyway. His mother ends up hating him even though his brother didnt do anything for her.
The producer - peaceful man, wants to do everything to satisfy everyone, ends up having a meltdown with full police force against him not caring at all. Ends up helping the car thief JUST because he's black too. This is reversed racism.
The persian store owner - so angry all the time, so quick to jump to conclusions, ends up either crazy or at peace because of the trauma he almost caused.
Also, to answer your question, the little girl heard a gunshot as well a few nights before so it seems to me that area wasnt as gun-free as her father thinks.
