Police have found at least one shell casing, according to radio communication, while investigating reports of gunfire heard on Puget Ridge. They briefly closed SW Dawson at/near 18th for the investigation but just announced it’s reopening. One person near 19th/Brandon tells us they “heard what sounded like 5 rapid gunshots.” No reports of anyone being injured..
It was 8 shots. Soon after a car hauled ass south on 21st. Tough to tell what it was but looked like a hatchback due to the tail light configuration.
Seems to be a rash of punks shooting into the air and disappearing quickly lately. Last week we heard 10 very rapid shots at 3 am about 1/4 mile away. It woke up the whole family as our windows were open. I called 911 but never even saw anything on the police blotter.
If they don’t find evidence of gunfire – casings, damage, and/or injury – there’s nothing to blotterize (I assume you mean Tweets by Beat) and such calls most often eventually are categorized as “noise disturbance.”
These were definitely gunshots. I’ve been a firearms instructor for decades. If the shell casings are in the bushes or in someone’s backyard, there’s nothing for police to find.
Hearing some blasts near Lincoln Park but sound like fireworks. Sets of 3 then 3 then 2.
This fireworks were a jack hole in Fauntleroy Cove just a few houses south of the park. Laws don’t apply to him. He does what he wants.
Whether or not someone in that area was shooting fireworks, the ones I heard last night were much closer, as were the ones two night earlier in which a resident actually found “tubes” along SW Thistle east of California.
Last night around 11:30 the fireworks were from Fauntleroy Cove. Saw them myself. Also found debris on beach this afternoon
Just heard five more rapid shots in Puget Ridge, 4:35am, September 2.
I heard the 5 at 4:37AM as well. Wasn’t certain until reading your comment as they woke me up.
Sorry, comment time is over.
