Heard these shots… It was a long string of shots in quick succession.
I heard these shots as well. Lots of rounds super quick. Super scary. Whoever was shooting was not fucking around.
Wow! I heard the shots too and I’m near Fairfield. I thought they were closer.
I swear, that whole area needs to be demolished and rebuilt as a senior living/retirement neighborhood. Coalter Street is getting to be the new Afton Avenue.
