On our way to Tom Z's for dinner - great coneys! - we drove by Ballenger Park about 4:45 & saw some event going on there - a pretty good crowd. Just heard on the scanner there were 2 people shot there. Taken to Hurley by private car, which then sped away. The park is emptying fast.

Interesting that there's no coverage yet on channels 5 or 12, or the Journal.

Also, big fight - twice - at Dayton & Chevrolet. 40 people, guns seen, but no shots.

2 young people were robbed in that park just a short time ago. Kettering fraternity just across the street.

The bad guys are such bad shots that the innocent get shot too.

That's the problem. They're such bad shots the innocent get hit way more than the intended target. I know of a bad guy that tried out his new pistol by shooting in the back yard. He hit the yard, so he thinks he's good to go. True story.

If people really want to know what's happening in Flint, get a scanner.

Or listen here http://flintmi.us/

There are also scanner apps for iPhone and Droid. I have one called PoliceStream installed on mine. Works pretty well, too.

What's the per minute charge for listening to scanner calls on a cell phone?

I have an unlimited data plan through T-Mobile, so I wouldn't know. I don't think pre-paid phones offer anything like that. I don't think they're even capable of doing that sort of thing.

All I know is with my phone, I just set it to stream the Flint frequencies, and it does until I turn off the app.
