Arizona law enforcement using technology to track gunfire on New Year’s Eve – Arizona's Family
PHOENIX (AZFamily) — Police are warning people about a problem they see every New Year’s Eve: People firing their guns into the air as part of the celebration.
“In our neighborhood, there was random gunfire and bullets richocheted off my mom’s car,” said Dot Roberts of Mesa. “For years we had bullet marks on our car, which is really scary.”
In 1999, 14-year-old Shannon Smith was in the backyard of her Phoenix home when she was struck and killed by a bullet that had been shot into the air.
Her death led to Shannon’s Law, which makes it a felony to discharge a firearm in any city or town in Arizona.
Glendale Police Officer Moroni Mendez believes Shannon’s Law has made a difference in reducing the number of random shooting incidents on New Year’s Eve, but it doesn’t stop everyone.
Glendale PD is one of several Arizona law enforcement agencies using technology to crack down on random gunfire.
Arizona’s Family got an inside look at Glendale’s Real Time Crime Center, which tracks what’s happening in neighborhoods across the city.
We also looked at the shot spotter system they use, which alerts officers when any gunshots are fired.
“It comes up with GPS aerial view coordinates and can actually pinpoint every single shot,” said Mendez. “For example, if we have a moving shooter it will show 1-2-3-4-5, however many shots were fired in order, and the distance they were traveling to include sometimes their speed.”
Moroni said the alert system allows officers to respond to a location in a matter of minutes.
Phoenix and other cities use similar gunshot tracking programs.
Agencies are hopeful New Year’s Eve revelers will get the message and stop firing their guns.
“I guarantee it’s made some difference,” said former law enforcement officer Andrew Slade. “You hear every year they arrest individuals and they do track it, that’s for sure.”

Bitcoin (BTC) Loses Support: 2025 to Begin With Crash? Shiba Inu (SHIB) Hits Critical Level, XRP Struggles to Hold Above $2 – U.Today

Bitcoin’s price performance as 2024 comes to an end worries investors. At the 50 EMA, a level essential to sustaining bullish momentum, Bitcoin has lost its main support. This break signals a substantial change in market sentiment and raises the prospect of additional declines as 2025 gets underway.
A bearish signal, the 50 EMA’s loss could lead to more selling pressure, particularly if traders expect the downtrend to continue. The 200 EMA, which is around $76,160, and the psychological level, which is at $85,457, are the next important support levels. Even more severe drops may occur in the first quarter of 2025 if Bitcoin is unable to stabilize at these levels.
Recent trading session volume profiles point to waning market activity, which makes Bitcoin even more vulnerable. A recovery to retest the 50 EMA appears unlikely in the near future in the absence of strong buying pressure. Nonetheless, it might indicate a brief recovery and reestablish some market confidence if bulls are able to push Bitcoin back above the 50 EMA in the upcoming days.
Bearish momentum may not yet be exhausted, as indicated by the Relative Strength Index (RSI), which is trending lower while remaining in the neutral zone. Given the current lack of robust institutional or retail demand, the outlook is still cautious. The climate for Bitcoin is going to be difficult in 2025.
A strong catalyst is required by the market to prevent further losses, which could include technical recovery above critical levels such as $96,472, macroeconomic changes or renewed institutional interest.
Shiba Inu has touched the 200 EMA, which is regarded as a significant support threshold, marking a turning point in its market performance. Although support levels are usually seen as chances for a rebound, it is alarming when the 200 EMA is reached in this situation. Assets falling to this level in the past have frequently indicated a change in momentum and the possibility of a more severe correction.
SHIB has performed poorly at the end of 2024, and bulls are having trouble regaining control. The move to the 200 EMA suggests that SHIB is vulnerable due to a protracted period of weak demand and selling pressure. A recovery from this level is feasible, but it will take significant buying pressure and fresh market interest to offset the pessimistic outlook.
Declining activity in volume profiles emphasizes traders’ lack of confidence even more. It is possible that the asset is nearing exhaustion because the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has also fallen into oversold territory. However, a reversal is not always assured by oversold conditions, particularly when the overall market environment is still unclear.
Psychological zones around $0.000020 and $0.000018 will be the next levels to keep an eye on if SHIB is unable to maintain the 200 EMA as support. A collapse beneath these levels might hasten losses and send SHIB into a bearish trend that might take over in early 2025. Right now, the 200 EMA is the center of attention.
Although there is some hope for stabilization, the overall technical picture indicates that SHIB is treading carefully. Although the road ahead is still difficult, bulls must swiftly regain higher levels to stop further deterioration.
Due to a combination of investor hesitancy and waning momentum from its most recent bull run, XRP is struggling with the crucial $2 support level as 2024 draws to a close. With its current price hovering around $2.03, XRP has not been able to recover above this psychological barrier, suggesting that market sentiment may be changing as the new year draws near.
The $2 mark has served as a pivotal point in XRP’s performance, particularly after its spectacular surge earlier this year. But the asset’s current inability to maintain this level begs the question of whether the momentum will pick back up in 2025. It looks like XRP is getting close to a critical point as the RSI and declining volume indicate more bearish pressure.
XRP is approaching its 50 EMA, the first significant support level since the start of its enormous rally, according to the technical picture. Historically, the 50 EMA has been a crucial level for XRP, frequently dictating whether the asset recovers or becomes vulnerable to prolonged corrections. Bulls might become more optimistic if this level is successfully defended, but a breakdown could lead to a more significant retracement toward $1.80 or even $1.50.
At this time, the trajectory of XRP will be greatly influenced by the state of the market as a whole and investor sentiment. Although there is struggle in the current price action, traders should pay close attention because of the 50 EMA’s proximity. If market conditions improve, a recovery from this level might pave the way for a new rally in early 2025.
As the year begins, it will be important to keep an eye on XRP’s performance around $2 and how it interacts with the 50 EMA. The year 2025 is expected to be a crucial year for XRP regardless of whether it regains momentum or encounters new difficulties.

Louisville vs Washington prediction, odds, notes ahead of Sun Bowl college football game – Courier Journal
EL PASO, Texas — Like most college football coaches, Louisville football coach Jeff Brohm’s December has been a juggling act.
The Cardinals‘ second-year coach has been balancing Sun Bowl preparations, retaining players and adding players from the transfer portal. So far, U of L has lost 18 players but added seven from the transfer portal. That includes its expected next starting quarterback Miller Moss, who is transferring in from USC.
Earlier this month, the workload also included securing the team’s next high school recruiting class, which ranks 53rd nationally, according to 247Sports. It’s all in a day’s work as the college football landscape continues to evolve.
“Yes, it’ll be busy with a lot of people coming on campus and some things moving and shaking, but that’s kind of how football works now,” Brohm said. “The bowl game is something that actually is the fun part. Getting to do football again, to practice, getting ready for (the) opponent, getting ready to play another game, that’s the really fun part. The recruiting part is a lot of work and it’s not fun, but it’s definitely more tedious and a lot of things are going on with that.
“I just think everybody’s got to be ready to work hard over this holiday season and get ready to try to win the football game and play some good, clean football and finish this season strong but also try to manage the roster and get yourself ready for the next year.”
Louisville 28, Washington 21. The Cardinals having key players opt out of the bowl game will play a significant role in the outcome. But U of L will have enough in the cupboard to still win the game.
