CLEVELAND (WJW) — The FOX 8 I-TEAM has uncovered new fallout from wild gunfire with people ringing in the New Year.
Holiday gunfire has become a chronic problem every New Year’s Eve, and this year in Cuyahoga County, bullets even flew into homes.

And, this comes, with a pledge from local lawmakers to make another attempt to change the law allowing the gunfire.
As the clock struck midnight to bring in 2025, 911 lines in Cuyahoga County lit up with complaints about people celebrating the new year by shooting off guns.
“There’s a lot of shooting going on, and I got a 1-year-old daughter,” one caller told a dispatcher.
Another caller reported some people were shooting guns “up into the air.”
The FOX 8 I-TEAM also obtained Euclid Police body camera video showing officers responding to a call on the morning of New Year’s Day. And, on that video, you can hear the sound of gunfire as an officer got out of his cruiser.
The I -TEAM has shown you before, Ohio law allows you to shoot a gun on your own property. And, again, some NE Ohio lawmakers want to make celebratory gunfire illegal.
