Gunfire at 10PM: South City’s Cry for Peace Grows Louder”
Friday night was supposed to be like any other in the South City apartment complex in Memphis — families winding down, children getting ready for bed, and quiet settling in. But by 10 p.m., the chilling sound of gunshots broke the silence once again, sending fear surging through every hallway and home.
“It happened so fast — I heard the first shot and hit the floor,” said one long-time resident, visibly shaken. “I’ve lived here for eight years. This isn’t the first time, and I’m scared it won’t be the last.”
The South City community is no stranger to violence. This latest incident marks yet another reminder that safety is no longer guaranteed, even in your own living room. According to FOX13, multiple residents called in the gunfire, and while police responded quickly, no suspects or injuries have been confirmed at the time of this report.
Still, the damage is done — not just to buildings, but to hearts and minds.
Parents report their children now instinctively duck at loud noises. Seniors no longer sit on porches. A community once defined by resilience is now overwhelmed by a recurring, deafening silence after each burst of chaos.
