Kevin 334 Posted September 25, 2021 My wife has heard the ones from the last 2 nights. I don't hear a thing. They were both about a block from my house. Getting pretty sad honestly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MsKreed 1,167 Posted October 8, 2021 As worrisome as these recurring reports are, at least Elmira isn't necessarily the worst around. I've been listening regularly to an Ithaca classic rock radio station. As a result, I hear daily news briefs from the Ithaca area.....and their shootings, stabbings and home invasions seem to be even more frequent than Elmira.
