From the ‘in case you wondered too’ file: What sounded like gunfire last night …

| High Point | West Seattle news

Late last night, 911 reported “a lot of calls” about possible gunshots in the High Point area. They dispatched officers to look around the areas the calls came from. One officer radioed in that he found “evidence of fireworks.” We don’t usually report on “possible gunfire” reports that aren’t verified, unless we get questions about it; multiple people have asked us about it this morning, so in case you wondered too – that’s what they found. (Police consider gunfire verified if they find a victim, shell casings, property damage such as bullet hole(s), and/or if someone actually saw a person firing a gun.)

Thanks for this! Heard them as well and was wondering.

We still haven’t been provided an update from SPD for the last shooting. I submitted an information request as our house was one of those hit by bullets. The response was, “we cannot share information while an investigation is ongoing”. Pretty sure there’s not much left to investigate. It’s been two months.

10:23pm – two burstsAlways appreciate the reporting here as I heard it and noted it, but couldn’t decide what I had heard. It was enough that I checked my watch to note the time though
