Several of us in the area hear gunshots on a fairly regular basis but no longer bother calling police since they don't do anything. By the time they respond, shooters are gone. Please call city because we feel the shot spotter in our area is broken yet again,rendering it useless. we also hear fireworks constantly, and almost always close to the same time as gunshots. Also the cars with altered mufflers that sound like gunshots, which is illegal, may have something to do with shot spotter being ignored? We are sick and tired of complaining and nothing done. Time to sue city for wasting tax payer $.
