Police Say Shootings Are Random Act Of Craziness
posted (July 23, 2012)
You'll notice in the news tonight there were no reports of shootings or murder in the city - and we're all grateful for that. But, since last week Wednesday, reports have been coming to us consistently about shots being fired in several neighborhoods - even on the northside in the vicinity of Baymen Avenue.

Police say that indeed they have gotten those reports - but nothing can come out of them:...

Inspector Fitzroy Yearwood - Police Press Officer
"We do receive phone calls of shots being fired or shots being heard and when police actually make checks there are no official complainants and that is why you wouldn't see it reflected in my daily release. We are not saying that these incidents did not occur but in most cases there is no virtual complainant."

Jules Vasquez
"Is there a rivalry that is escalating or its just random acts of craziness?"

Inspector Fitzroy Yearwood
"I would say its random acts of craziness; in that situation on Supal Street the persons that were fired at were not males and these persons refuse to give an official report."
