On New Years Day 2021, Erie County 911 got a whole bunch of calls for shots fired all around East Erie. Erie Police responded to the calls to realize there was a group of men around different parts of Erie shooting off guns into the air, this is called “New Years Gunfire” which happens every year in Erie and has been a problem for the past 10-20 years. Multiple residents were actually injured due to the random shots and Erie Police made many arrests.  Erie Police were first called to the Kingtown neighborhood where 2 people were struck by random gunfire in the head in the 1200 block of East Lake Road. Erie Police found the suspects hiding in an abandoned home and arrested 26 year old Andre Phillips and 29 year old Keonte Williamson both of East Erie. Erie Police then received a ton of calls for shots fired in Burton and responded to the 1600 block of Woodlawn Avenue. There Erie Police arrested 19 year old Shakisha Rankine of East Erie. Erie Police were receiving many calls throughout the New Years night for gun fire in areas of East Erie, Bay Lights, Burton Heights and Saint Mary. Luckily nobody else was injured.
