You should not blame yourself in the least for being aware of a potential danger. I have been in the same situation many times and one of those times I ended up in the ER with a bullet inside me. This is not a fantasized danger.
That said i find it a tragic failure of our civilization that you have to be so careful on your own street. I wish we lived in a civilization where you could safely turn around and wish them a good evening when you meet strangers on your own street.
