it doesn't matter if there are casualties or not, we should NOT be hearing gun shots on a regular basis. there are ranges for people who want to target practice. no matter the instance, people's lives are in danger if people are shooting guns in a neighborhood.

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.
