http://www.post-trib.com/news/lake/2993556,gnewyear1229.articleGARY -- Police Chief Gary O. Carter said Wednesday he wants residents of the city to enjoy their New Year's Eve celebrations safely, and warned them not to risk arrest by firing weapons when the clock strikes 12.
"It's against the law to fire weapons into the air. People who do it can be charged with criminal recklessness," he said.
Gary City Court Judge Deidre Monroe increased bail for anyone arrested for criminal recklessness earlier this month.
Anyone charged with discharging a weapon must post $1,500 cash to get out of jail, she said.
Police will have extra patrols throughout the city from late Friday through early Saturday, Carter said.
"I just want people to celebrate responsibly," he said.

That's right folks. How many got shot the past week?
Don't shoot straight up at the sky...just keep on shooting each other.
Feel sorry for the good residents that have to live in that killing city.
Well, to be safe, just park your posteriors inside for the night.
Tomorrow we will see who got shot where in Gary.
I don't think there's a reason to celebrate the New Year in Gary....with all the homicides...people please stay home.
