Gunfire in the night?
11/06/2016 11:32 AM by John M
Heard about some notable shooting last night from folks from Fairmount to St.John’s… Anybody know anything else?

Around 3:05am this morning I heard what could have been 20+ rapid shots. Others had reported the latter to 911 by the time I called.

We were woken up at about 3 this morning to what sounded like a good deal of gunshots (more than just a few)… it almost sounded like multiple weapons. Heard sirens pretty soon after.
Very loud multiple weapons. First rounds MAY have been automatic fire. Very fast and evenly spaced rounds. Followed by some smaller caliber rounds.
It was very loud on 28th street/Leigh
I was not amused that I was woken from my slumber.
Does anyone know where it happened?
Or where it was?
Yes we heard the gunfire, both early Saturday and this morning as well. I feel like someone has to live next to these dullards and know who it is.
At 3:03 AM there were 3 volleys (gun fire). The first and third sounded strange. Perhaps large fire crackers. Perhaps echoing shotgun blasts… 3 or 4 in each volley. I wasn’t sure what I was hearing. The second volley clearly was a hand gun firing four rounds in rapid succession. Did hear a siren and a speeding motorcycle. Don’t know that they were related.
So Wednesday night and again early Sunday morning? What’s going on around here with all the gun shots?
I heard them loud and clear around 3:00 AM, definitely dueling gunfire just like Friday evening. It’s beginning to sound like Church Hill in the early 90’s (and I’m sure before that decade). Do the police think it’s from an outsider with a major grudge looking for someone, and/or from a few folks who are currently residing somewhere up here? No reports of anyone killed or injured so far, but I’m not thrilled by this ‘shoot ’em up gang’ riding around, the bullets have to land somewhere.
Heard crazy loud gunfire while in my home in Brauers at 3 am. My gf looked at me to make the usual phone call. I just fell back asleep. Knew it was too crazy for Church Hill Proper to miss.
Heard it loud and clear on N 27th as well. Yes, as one person mentioned, sounds like the old days before the bad seeds left.
Will the police captain chime in to give us their take, and what to do?
@11/Ryan – same thing. I called it in at 524a.m. I always assume it is below 21st but could of been jefferson park, 18th, the exxon. No crossfire that I could hear. with the echos off the bigger buildings, I can never tell the ‘where’.
I submitted a tip to CBS6 this afternoon hoping maybe they’ll look into this new little pattern we’ve got going on up here… perhaps if other residents reach out to them, they’ll feel more inclined to investigate…? Would definitely be nice to get this to stop.
Just heard what sounded like 4 gunshots near Marshall and 32nd Street a few seconds ago.
Gunshots tonight a little before 10:45 pm. They sounded like they were right in front of my house at N 32nd and E Marshall. So close that I ducked. However, I did not see anyone or hear any vehicles. Whoever it is, they must be in foot or bike. Called RPD and they responded.
I thought I heard three gun shots somewhere near 29th and clay just a few minutes ago too Mary.
Kathleen, we heard the same. 3 shots woke us up around 10.30. Rapid succession and sounded right outside the house.
we heard it as well in Nolde Bakery– so any official response from “authorities”?
I heard the ones at 10:45 as well. I am on 29th and Marshall.
Great idea, Jason. Hope others will help.
Jason Sewell just went next level.
I LOVE Jason’s can do attitude, but pin pointing the spot will be useless if they were on foot.
Bang bang bang again just now (about 10 pm). I’m near 28th and Franklin.
I heard a round going off the other night that sounded like it was coming from the general direction of the 500 block of 28th. Echoes and distance I am sure will be off but in general. I did not see anything about it here so, is this becoming so commonplace again in Church Hill to not be reported?
It sounded like fireworks.
I heard another last night – maybe 500 block of 31st? Could have been fireworks – was A LOT of gunshots if it wasn’t. This has been two nights this week I’ve heard things . . .
What I heard was definitely not fireworks by the way it sounded and the irregular intervals of the shots. Sounded like someone unloaded a clip which is about the number of shots I heard.
