Me neither!

Only going on what the article said: "Ballistic experts say it came from an AK47 assault rifle fired more than 3km (two miles) away from the church in Atlanta, Georgia. It is common for people there to fire guns in the air during New Year celebrations" was the exact quote.

And re-reading the article, I noticed it said 'more than' 3km not 'up to' as I originally said...

I am, of course, not discounting editorial bias or inaccurate reporting. It may also have been referring to a particular locality in Atlanta and not the entirity of Georgia.

I bet it is something found only in a specific locale. You can be sure that if the whole of Georgia celebrated the 4th in such a way, most of America would have heard about it long ago. Something like that makes headlines everywhere.

I have heard reports over time in both Chicago and Milwaukee. It is possible that I even personally heard this activity for New Years.
