Heavy Police Activity Around Simpson & Broadway

[derekp.livejournal.com]

I noticed very heavy police activity on and around Simpson ave around 7:00PM tonight. Several unmarked cruisers, marked patrol cars, state police vehicles, and police on foot. They seemed to be around for at least an hour or so and were very clearly looking for someone.

Just a few minutes ago (10:00ish), my wife and I heard two gunshots which sounded as if they had come from the Broadway area. The police said they had gotten reports of shots from Wallace street and sure enough there seem to be multiple cruisers around the area again.

Anyone in the area get the lowdown from the cops this evening? I'm not usually this nosy, but I wish that I had asked. Nothing on the local news sites.

I just now heard another such sound.

Me too, only quieter and seemingly a little further away than the last two I heard. This time it sounded more like fireworks to me. So maybe I was just closer to it last time. Who knows.

I still want to know what the earlier Manhunt was all about.
