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.

would be helpful to have a location.
