8:57 a.m.
I called in fire works last night, heard a boom, went outside, saw the
next one explode. IT LOOKED to be coming from the 300 block of Colleton. it
was very close to my house on King Charles. heard more about 15 minutes
later but those were off in the distance towards the Northeast of 300 block
of King Charles.
I also would like to know why there are so many gunshots lately and if they
are causing casualties.
Thanks,
Christa

That is my issue with giving an aprox location, I
though they were coming
from new bern ave direction. I heard rapid gun shots around 12:30, followed
by fireworks and more gunshots.
Since gunshots have become a pretty regular occurrence, do we have any
idea if they are typically at a target or just a weapon discharge? Other
than the driveby, doesn't seem like there are often casualties . I'm just
trying to keep this in perspective, if there is one.

I feel like I heard stuff last night too....I'm on Milburnie & it SOUNDED
like they were coming from the direction of the Culpepper circle....but
that's just a rough estimate based on where I live.

I heard the 12:25 a.m. shots/fireworks. Couldn't tell if it was fireworks
or shots. I do know that the first "boom" of fireworks started at 6:00
p.m. last night!
These fireworks have been going on every night this week. As has been
said by other neighbors, these booms can be scary to pets and to infants.
Does anyone have a specific idea of the location? The next time I hear
them, I am going to call the police, but it would be helpful to have a
location.
Thank you.

Someone fired shots in our area around 12:25 last night (someone ELSE was
shooting off fireworks, but that's a different matter). I called inthe
shots and the fireworks stopped soon afterward.
