According to a SPD patrol officer, those shots we heard in the neighborhood over the past couple of nights were drive-by shootings.

On 12/30/11, one shot was fired into a car, and tonight at around 10:40pm, there was a drive-by shooting at 27th and Cherry and one person was shot.

Does anyone know where we can get consistent information on crime?  The real time 911 ( http://www2.seattle.gov/fire/realTime911/getDatePubTab.asp) did not list any responses to dispatched calls when these shots and shootings occurred.
