Sunday night, the Baltimore Ravens booked their first trip to the Super Bowl since the 2000 season, when they beat the New York Giants. Cities tend to celebrate sports successes like this, but if Twitter is to be believed, Baltimore residents did it in a bizarre way: they fired off guns.
Oh man Baltimore is going CRAZY outside right now! Definitely hearing some fireworks and yelling...maybe a few gun shots?
Ahahaha my friend that lives in Baltimore said that everyone is shooting off their guns down there.. seems pretty accurate 😂
Gun shots all around Baltimore right now...ratchet ass city
Living in Baltimore right now is scary. I can't determine if the screaming is from the game or the possible gun shots outside my house
I can hear the gun shots and I'm nowhere near Baltimore. Lol It's not New Year's. Lol 😂😂😂
The amount of gun shots going off in Baltimore right now. Lol.

Gun shots!!! Lord, neighbor and I ran in my house! I'm not dying over a game! #baltimore

Those were either gun shots or fire crackers.. You know you live in Baltimore when you can't tell the difference.

Eliminate 'idk' & 'fireworks' RT @Madam_Nisey: Idk if I'm hearing fireworks or gun shots. Either is plausible this close to Baltimore
Gun shots in Baltimore area, keep your heads down. :/
Here's the tricky part of living in Baltimore tonight: are these fireworks I hear or gun shots? #Ravens

I know my family in Baltimore is turning up tonight. My cousin said she heard gun shots so she assumed we won. 😂😭
RT @justdoitjerm: In Baltimore and after the win I go to the bathroom. I kid you not, I heard Gun shots in the melody of love sosa. #Ravens
Dear Baltimore, I know the Ravens won. And I am happy about that too. But stop discharing firearms into the air. This isn't Pakistan.
Aaand now the fireworks and firearms start popping here in Baltimore. We keep it real, San Francisco. Get scared.
They are shooting their guns and fireworks in the city. This is Baltimore at its best.

Alex Andra 3 months agoThis is from the Baltimore Sun’s crime reporter. I asked him about reported gunfire last night. RT @justin_fenton Zero confirmed (i.e. officers couldnt find proof like shell casings, witnesses, etc). But that’s obviously not accurate.

Also a Pats fan was arrested for hitting a Raven fan with a beer bottle. Kthx.

Uh yeah, because that’s the ONLY thing that happened, and it’s what EVERYONE was doing. Let’s not talk about the peaceful celebrations in the streets. And I dare say this could happen in any city and probably would.

The vast majority of the “gunshots” that were reported to police were found to just be noises from fireworks. Is this really newsworthy? Lovely to see that there is plenty of hate for the city of Baltimore here, yet no concern on this site for the status of the Pats player who was knocked unconscious during the course of the game…

Forgot to mention the fireworks thing in my comment, thank you. People always mistake fireworks for gunfire.

David M. 4 months agoOMG! A few people in a large urban area are doing what always happens in other areas when big wins happen. What is up with buzzfeed and the charm city hate? (And for the record I stood outside for at least 15 minutes and enjoyed the fire works in my northeast Baltimore neighborhood and did not hear any gunshots)
