In 2000 my friend lived on the west side of ABQ one street to the west of the Rio Grande. Being somewhat elevated from the east bank of the river we had a good view of most of the city. Fireworks of all kinds were going up city wide. Being just a half mile north of the South Valley the gunfire was intense but it seemed to be going off in all quarters. We stayed underneath the awning on his back porch.
IIRC ABQ was going to install gunfire detectors around the city about ten or twelve years ago. Still, with gunfire in every direction they probably wouldn’t do much good.
I’m sure the South Valley is more intense compared to 2000 but I have no inclination to be there at midnight any day of the year. I haven’t heard anything about gunfire detectors being set up in Albuquerque although I know the technology exists.
Both Albuquerque and Rio Rancho also gave up their red camera systems.
Good choice to stay under the awning.
