Shots Fired X 2

Last night there was a large party at a home in the 200 block of North 12th Street. Police were called there early for a noise complaint. Later in the evening police again responded for possible fighting as the party let out. While numerous officers were in the area dispersing rowdy young adults, some individual decided to fire rounds from a weapon into the air around 10th and Pine Street. Unfortunately I don't believe the person was caught.

Approximately 40 minutes later police responded to the area of Green/Buck streets for reports of several shots fired. I don't know if anyone was apprehended in that incident. Police had descriptions of possible suspects and were searching...

I witnessed many kids from this party as they spread out into the darkness from the 12th street melee - all I could do was wonder how so many parents could allow their children to be out late at night with zero concern or supervision, and how easily lives can be ruined by ignorant choices, either by shooting weapons in a crowd, or by associating with the type of people who so freely do so...
