I'm not sure which part of that upset you:

1) "Locking down the neighborhood": I suppose it could be annoying that the government is temporarily limiting your freedom to come and go as you please.

2) "authorities taking care of the threat" : The police are our employees, and they are merely doing the dangerous job that we taxpayers pay them to do. Are you saying that you would rather have armed residents of the neighborhood go outside carrying weapons and try to apprehend the armed criminals? Do you not see any disadvantages with that plan, such as the possible lack of training in the average citizen?

So, please tell us what you would have done in your ideal society. If all you mean is that the police should continue chasing the suspects but not "lock down" the neighborhood, then I concede that you may have a point.
