Reply to comment by ouralarmclock in Banging noises near Snyder station? by mklinger23
Yea I'm hoping that's what it is. It definitely sounded like 16th and wolf and then the last one sounded super close. I'm at 13th and Snyder and it sounded right there.
As I was typing this I heard another @ 12:48. Almost positive it was gunshots because I hear a bunch of blood curdling screams now...

It would have to be a big old shotgun to make that kind of boom, and the single intermittent shots are pretty unusual as well. But as I said, anything is possible in South Philly!

Yea exactly. The closer ones didn't really sound like gunshots but the screams i heard are unsettling.
12:54 I'm hearing a bunch of quieter bangs now. Sounds more like what I'd think gunshots sound like... Sounds like it's around 16th and McKean or so. Also just heard a loud one that I doubt it gunshots.

Yup also heard some softer pops just now that sounded more like gunshots than the initial bang

Yup me too. Also citizen just reported gunshots. Says 12th and McKean but i don't think that's right. They also reported the screaming.

Another bang 1:00. Definitely coming from the southwest but quieter this time

I heard that one. Definitely west of broad. Sounded like fireworks to me.

Who the fuck is out in this setting off fireworks. It's fucking pissing down freezing slop. People are nuts

That's why I thought gunshots lol cuz it's like sleeting and 1 am. I'd be happy if it's fireworks tho. Sounds like it probably is.

I saw from a community FB post that the police radio said there was someone throwing fireworks out of a moving car, seems to explain everything but also.....wtf
mklinger23 OP t1_j1cfrtd wrote
Yea that seems to be what it was. Really why tho? I'm just wondering what the screaming was about.

You ever figure it out?

Pretty sure it was fireworks. Didn't hear much about it.

Oh damn, really!? That’s upsetting. Be safe out there. Stay inside!

You too man. There's no way I'm going out to check it out. Way too risky!
