Oh shit, also a carjacking with kids and guns in the car 15 min ago at 52 and Walnut. They’re looking for the vehicle now. Ffs.

What tools do you use to get up-to-the-minute info like this? I've tried to find a police blotter but haven't found anything that seems to work

I use Citizen app, though I turn the alerts off and just open it when I’m looking for details about something. Those alerts will turn you into a hermit.

Agh yeah ok. I really don't want Citizen for the exact reasons you described, but might have to cave. Thanks.

Absolutely ridiculous. There’s thousands of people coming and going right now through these intersections. I swear these clowns now are so fucking brazen. I don’t recall this many shootings in heavily trafficked areas in the past, they just DGAF anymore. Probably teenagers.

Update on the 34th and Market shooting - it was a road rage incident and they arrested the person.

Not that any criminal is a genius or shows restraint , but teenagers seem to have even worse impulse control and probably shoot people wherever.

morry32 t1_iy65hor wrote

but what is that based on?

​

teenagers make it sound like a crime of happenstance, what if its mothers and grandmother? Changes a bit doesn't it?

It’s based on who is doing the majority of the shootings in the city. Why is that a problematic speculation?

I've lived in W.Philly most my life, teenagers scare me the most. I've three 'situations' and they all involved teenagers. Also, I was once a teenager so I understand their mentality.

A baby copperhead s ake is more dangerous than an adult because it doesn't have restraint on how much venom it injects. An adult will bite you multiple times if needed. ... or so I was told as a kid.

Do you have anymore info on the Wawa shooting or a link?

Saw this on Twitter:

"SHOTS FIRED at 34th & Market St at the Wawa. No injuries reported."

Crazy that people can't handle the existence of a convenience store.

Edit: it was a road rage incident and the person was arrested
