Police Called to the 5700 Block of Gaston

Several residents called 911 to report frequent gunshots around 10:30 the night of Dec. 25. The police determined that residents in the 5700 block of Gaston were illegally shooting off fireworks. Thanks to all who called in. Our police patrols are based, in part, on the number of incidents reported.

With New Year’s Eve approaching, remind your neighbors that it is illegal to shoot fireworks or guns in the city of Dallas. It is also very dangerous. The bullets that go up, must also come down. The descending stray bullets can cause property damage and bodily injury or death.
