9:04 PM: After 911 calls from people who suspected they’d heard gunfire, police have confirmed it. They say one caller, in the 8400 block of 18th SW, reports a bullet went through a window at their home. An officer told dispatch that the angle suggests the gunfire came from a block or so south. No injuries reported.
9:42 PM: They’ve also just reported finding casings in the 8100 block of 18th.
I heard rapid succession of 5-6 shots coming from intersection of 18th SW and Thistle Street.
Endless gunfire. Outrageous behavior! These people with guns need to get a grip and figure out another way to manage their emotions rather then firing guns! A bullet through a window at someone’s home – unacceptable.
I’m curious if any neighbors heard a car speeding away or saw a vehicle associated with the gunfire. There were gunshots last weekend at the same spot but we heard silence afterward.
Yep. 7-8 shots quickly. Camera caught the audio and a blur of light speeding North on 18th. Saw an officer appear shortly after and spent some time searching for casings. Heard some bs like this occurring last week too but not sure where. Just heard shots and lots of cars racing around after midnight.
I live on Elmgrove & 18th & my camera picked up 7 shots at 8:35 and then the blur of a car speeding north on 18th about 15 seconds later. Can’t see much other than a flash of headlights but I bet anyone with a doorbell cam along 18th would be able to see what kind of car it was. I’ll send this to the police anyway.
I too heard the gunshots – I think it was around 8:45. Maybe 10? No Lee Dam – I neither heard nor saw any vehicles – and i got up to look.
