Samantha reported around 9pm last night:
“Sounds like rapid gunfire on Lamont St. in Mt Pleasant just now — anyone know what’s going on? Fireworks or at least three rapid-fire gunshots.
Cops are collecting multiple shell cases on Lamont and 17th — searching now in the alley for the shooter who took off running.”
