Reply to comment by ColdJay64 in Map of Philadelphia shooting locations in 2022 by GoGoGadgetReddit

One Saturday sometime in May or June, I was walking with my girlfriend on East Passyunk, and heard a shoot out very close by. It was like 1 pm, and there were a ton of people on the street that heard it as well. I never saw anything about it on the citizen app or the news, and when I asked on here, it was taking down fairly quickly. A couple people PM'd me to say they heard it as well before it was taken down. I'm assuming this list is missing a bunch of stuff like that.

It only tracks injuries and deaths, there were at least 2 shootings by house this year when I was home. Like close enough I could see the running and smoke. Neither are on the map, probably because there were no deaths/injuries.

If it was gunfire, I guess there were just no victims? But, I just meant that it’s good in this regard. Hell, there were multiple shootings in Times Square last year with random victims and I still consider it safe. I also consider Center City quite safe, regardless of a handful of incidents.
