With the new year arriving Tuesday night, the Lima Police Department is reminding residents to not use guns to ring in 2025. Officers say "what goes up must come down" meaning any bullets fired into the air will have to come back down to the ground at some point. That means if someone fires a gun into the air to celebrate the new year, there is still a risk of a bullet striking property, an animal, or even another person causing possible injury or death. On Monday afternoon, we talked with LPD about the possible legal consequences if someone is caught shooting a gun into the air.

The Lima Police Department is the only recipient of the state dollars in our region; getting $75,425 dollars in funding. The Governor's office says the department will use the funds to acquire a new mobile gunshot detection system. The devices are placed in areas with a high incidence of gunfire and firearm assaults. They then alert police to gunfire. The idea is by quickly locating gunshots, the system can provide evidence of criminal activity, and deter gun violence.
