Apparently, the Police department was conducting a test to see if they could determine the location of gunshots in various locations of the mission. The test was done last night 12/18.

I was at 21st and Valencia and heard gunshots last night. They seemed to come from the direction of Mission and 19th-ish. Anyone know what happened? Two sets of sirens followed, which I assume to be police and then ambulance/fire. I would describe the sound as a high caliber handgun. Is the frequency of Mission gun violence escalating or is this ‘normal’? I don’t live in the neighborhood.

Perhaps if there actually was a section of the paper for local crime reports, The Mission might get the attention of someone in City Hall who could put some serious resources on the street. People are more interested in pet stories…

if gunshots in the mission were always in the news, it would be 2 – 3 reports a week minimum, just from what i can hear at my house.

you could have a section of the paper specifically dedicated….

I am pretty sure they were gunshots, b/c the police came right afterward and stayed in the area for a while… Also, they were WAY too loud to be fireworks. No one knows, huh? It’s weird how this stuff is never in the news.

yeah, we heard them on 17th and Albion too. pretty sure they were fireworks due to the bright lights that followed each report.

It was actually 21 homeless people sequentially defecating.

20th and Capp here, thought they were gunshots too at first but there were to many booms in a row. Gun clips usually hold 10 rounds, or in cases of illegal hi-cap magazines 15.

It was MIA performing “Paper Planes,” probably.

We heard it too at 20th & Mission. We thought they must have been M80s or other fireworks. Like Zinzin said, they very regular and booming.

on Capp bet. 19th & 20th there were a long series of booms that sounded (way) louder and…boomier….than the usual gunshots we hear twice a fucking week. they also had a more regular cadence…we didnt see any flashes.

if they were on Clarion Alley, they probably wouldn’t have sounded as loud over here as they did.

maybe a string of m80s on Mission? or maybe a larger caliber weapon than the usual 9 / 45 / 38?

most likely the former, but i’m no munitions specialist.
