We heard a variety of distant fireworks after dark but nothing that sounded like gunfire. What time was it reported?

The report is time-stamped 12:16 am. I would guess that refers to the initial report as I don’t think employees would be arriving at the bank at that hour.

Summit Atlas High School, on the corner of 35th & Roxbury, has 2 shattered windows on the 35th side of the building right at the corner with Roxbury. Each of the shattered windows has a distinct small round hole. Bullets? BB guns? We reported this to the non-emergency SPD line on Saturday when the holes & shattered windows were noticed by us.

I bank there, they are absolutely incredible people who work at that branch. What a terrifying thing to go through – I hope the perps are caught (go SPD!) or maybe FBI since it’s bank-related.

I heard both first what sounded like gun fire then I heard a series of pops that sounded more like fireworks. I am at 46th and Hinds. I am glad no one was hurt.
