Police seek information on Gunshots that continued to be fired in Abbeville

The gunshots continue to be heard on the streets of Abbeville.
For seven days, someone called 911 to report that gunshots had been fired on the streets of Abbeville.
After the Abbeville Police Department went public saying gunshots were heard four days in a row, gunshots were reported on Tuesday and Wednesday, according to Police Chief Mike Hardy.
On Tuesday night, gunshots were heard on Fairmont Street and Clover Street. No gun casings were found when the patrol officers arrived on the scene.
However, 30 minutes later, more gunfire was reported on Graceland Avenue. The officers found gun casings on Meyers Street, near Graceland. They located five rifle casings and four 40-caliber pistol casings.
On Wednesday, the police department beefed up patrol in Abbeville, and the Sheriff’s Department joined the patrol.
Hardy said that despite the extra patrol, gunshots occurred at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday.
With the weekend approaching, Hardy hopes to have a different kind of weekend than last weekend in Abbeville.
