    Default Shootouts at 15th and Federal

    Last night there were multiple gunshots at 15th and Federal with one person dead. It woke me up, probably at least 6 shots. Seven shot, three dead in 10 hours

    Tonight around 5:45PM there was another shooting, I think around at the same location. It must have been retaliatory, or they didn't get everyone they were going after. This was the closest I've heard gunshots, as well as it being in broad daylight. Uggg.

    Jeez three of the shootings were in or around PB (or "Newbold", if you prefer). Were they all related?

    Just put up with it for four or five more years until the neighborhood completely changes. Maybe less actually.

    GHo had a significant number of homicides, usually about 6 a year until the mid 00's. If you go back further, to the early 90's, you'll find upwards of 12 homicides a year in GHo. Now it's down to 1 a year or none.

    You betcha. Gang bangers galore also. One time a cable TV salesman was murdered. His crime? Going house to house for a sale.

    Pulled up the news article for that, from 1990, occurred at 15th and Catherine: Defendant Said He Defied 'Voices' By Killing Salesman - Philly.com

    How things have changed... the murderer (who sounded schizophrenic) lived at a rooming house(!) on Christian St. and says his motive was because the cable salesman was a "white guy in a black neighborhood."(!)
