Oh shit, also a carjacking with kids and guns in the car 15 min ago at 52 and Walnut. They’re looking for the vehicle now. Ffs.

this makes sense. there are currently 3 helicopters sweeping over the hood around 50 walnut.

What tools do you use to get up-to-the-minute info like this? I've tried to find a police blotter but haven't found anything that seems to work

I use Citizen app, though I turn the alerts off and just open it when I’m looking for details about something. Those alerts will turn you into a hermit.

Agh yeah ok. I really don't want Citizen for the exact reasons you described, but might have to cave. Thanks.

Absolutely ridiculous. There’s thousands of people coming and going right now through these intersections. I swear these clowns now are so fucking brazen. I don’t recall this many shootings in heavily trafficked areas in the past, they just DGAF anymore. Probably teenagers.

Maybe if more people have guns it'll stop? /s

Or, just hear me out! Maybe we defund public schools even further and ban abortions and then it'll stop /s

Update on the 34th and Market shooting - it was a road rage incident and they arrested the person.

>Probably teenagers.

based on what?

NonIdentifiableUser t1_iy61q5n wrote

Not that any criminal is a genius or shows restraint , but teenagers seem to have even worse impulse control and probably shoot people wherever.

morry32 t1_iy65hor wrote

but what is that based on?

​

teenagers make it sound like a crime of happenstance, what if its mothers and grandmother? Changes a bit doesn't it?

−47

McCooms t1_iy68pdy wrote

It’s based on who is doing the majority of the shootings in the city. Why is that a problematic speculation?

trashtrucktoot t1_iy69tx1 wrote

I've lived in W.Philly most my life, teenagers scare me the most. I've three 'situations' and they all involved teenagers. Also, I was once a teenager so I understand their mentality.

A baby copperhead s ake is more dangerous than an adult because it doesn't have restraint on how much venom it injects. An adult will bite you multiple times if needed. ... or so I was told as a kid.

Soft_Nuggs t1_iy60y5e wrote

Do you have anymore info on the Wawa shooting or a link?

ColdJay64 t1_iy6hk4m wrote

Saw this on Twitter:

"SHOTS FIRED at 34th & Market St at the Wawa. No injuries reported."

Crazy that people can't handle the existence of a convenience store.

Edit: it was a road rage incident and the person was arrested

They found both the child and the vehicle.

As much as we have a crime problem, the last 3 times a car was jacked with a kid, the kid (and car) were returned safe.

Darius_Banner t1_iy7rvor wrote

Badly traumatized, no less. Imagine how pathetic you’d have to be to see a kid and continue with your carjacking p

ratmoustache t1_iy7tvrd wrote

They’re just not paying attention, when stealing a vehicle they don’t check for occupants, tire pressure, make sure the all the turn signals and brake lights are working properly. They just bail if there’s a baby in it, they do t want the heat

DiegoSancho57 t1_iy8uqcw wrote

Been in jail with people this has happened to. Can confirm. Definitely an accident 😂. Also was in their with someone who was on Xanax and thought he was getting into his own car at the gas station cuz he had the same one. Makes sense to me. I’ve done that shit. If the keys were in the car and it was a push start I prolly really would accidentally drive off.

>Authorities say a man was making deliveries and left the car running with his 4-year-old inside when the suspects jumped in and took the vehicle.

Not the driver's fault that people suck ass or that childcare in this country is out of reach for many people, but COME ON.

Darius_Banner t1_iy7s1jd wrote

That said, and regardless of crime, what kind of moron leaves their car running when they go inside? My 4 year old would immediately start messing with the controls, and I don’t think people appreciate the exhaust either

airjordano t1_iy8nl8r wrote

I second the exhaust comment, but a 4 yr old should be able to reach any controls when sitting in the rear in a child car seat.

dc122186 t1_iy966ym wrote

LOL you think someone who is negligent enough to leave their child in an unlocked, running car in Philly really has that kid strapped into an appropriate child seat?

airjordano t1_iy9wc4p wrote

No, but neither does the person who's comment I replied to apparently lol

UPenn alert said all clear but I don't know. I'm gonna stay inside just in case. The copters are still flying around.

The link I put in the other comment had a live video of the crime scene—nothing happening when I last checked, just cops talking to witnesses. Seemed like the video was from the helicopter

Was it a shitty looking black Hyundai? Asshole almost ran over me as I was leaving work and subsequently ran 2 stop lights. Of course no headlights.

The stolen vehicle with the 4 y/o inside was a black 2019 Honda CR-V

There was a hostage situation after a robbery in KoP too, so tons of helicopters in the suburbs all day as well

JawnMadden t1_iy61oq8 wrote

Not watching the news, but there was also a 2-car accident on 76 southbound in the left most lane right where the 676 off-ramp merges onto 76 about 30 minutes ago.

Just another shooting in the City of Brotherly Love.

morry32 t1_iy61mx6 wrote

that can't be true or the helicopters would be everywhere all the time?

They are. There are shootings in the City of Brotherly Love every day, all day long.

so you really believe that?

how many equals "every day all day long" because that ain't no metric for changing shit

We are at 332 days in 2022. There have been 400 homicides in Philadelphia so far this year.

keep going you almost there my friend

​

those are numbers, do you not think crime doesn't exist everywhere? Everything is in relation to something else, I am going to assume you don't want them arresting people before they commit a crime, right?

WeJustDid46 t1_iy68p0t wrote

Crime does exist everywhere, however, you are more likely to be a victim of crime in Philadelphia than you are if you live in Downingtown.
