“Just before 3:30 am yesterday (Sunday) an incident near 6th and E NE drew a substantial police response. I believe 7 or 8 shots were fired in quick succession. Photo of the scene from 3:33 am. I saw no ambulance, so I assume no casualties. It did appear that a man was in custody.”
MPD responds to me via email: “nothing in our system that indicates there were shots fired”. Did anyone else hear shots fired?

Just so we all know a bit more about @darsal: he loved a good beer, was a connoisseur of great music, had a wry sense of humor, and an understanding shoulder when things weren’t going well. He would make you smile, even when life was shit. He wasn’t just a “bike guy."
