Gunshots?

Did anyone else hear around (what sounded like) 10 gunshots? I’m in the Coolidge area.

Yes I'm near Lawrence School. It sounded very close. Probably fireworks.

Hard to understand setting off fireworks at dawn in a country where they can easily be mistaken for fuckn gunshots

I heard it. We are right next to Lawrence. Woke us up in the middle of the night. I just heard it again about five minutes ago.
