I think a weeks worth of reports should be interesting, all non scientific mind you. You must hear them, or have a witness who did, NO news reports.

11/7 - 11/14
Put down your general location, and the direction you heard it come from.

ie 34th & Hollis - two shots from the North, under the freeway

Multiple shots fired on Wends. probably close to 50 from a 17hmr Hornet. 40 souls lost, some shots right off my back porch.

Friend of mine taking care of a squirrel problem. Flocks of turkey buzzards cleaning up the mess.

Proximity of South and I5.

I heard about 4 shots, maybe a block away, the night before last. Just another night here in northern Santa Barbara County.

Is it summer yet?
I hear shooting all the time, especially in the morning to the east. During duck and geese season.

Thanks for thread. It reminds me that I don't hear as much shooting anymore as I once did. I don't know, it might the Shotspotter tech or something discouraging perps. I will report if I hear any. I am up on the hill above Richmond and San Pablo and usually hear everything, all the way to the skeet shooting at the country club.

Just the recent ones...I can't track how many have occurred, or how many I've heard over the years.

07-21-14, shooting just across our park.

08-02-14, my neighbor (a guy I've known since he was about six) was shot three times. Lucky me, I got to be the first on scene. (He's recovering, but will likely always walk with a limp, shattered femur).

10-28-14, shooting just around the corner (less than a block away).

I heard the shots in each case.

Note: don't get involved with gangs, whether it is as a member or as a customer. Their "rules" are pretty harsh...

OTOH, because I (now) avoid those associations, I've never felt particularly threatened. Life in a city with other people, nothing more.

I'll start a weekly log and update from there.

Yep, while there are a few innocent victims of gun violence a large majority are in the game. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

We heard a shot a couple weeks ago just up the street from us. You've been to our place. I give Jason shit about it every time he looks at new gun safes. :laughing
