Heard it too!!

Heard over on Madison also what could that be.

Public Works 2 assigned this issue to Environmental 1

Again this morning at around 5 to 530am big boom's what can this be kinda getting nervous

That one around 5:30 am was so loud woke me up with my door closed. Scared me half to death. How do we pin this down ?

There have been reports of illegal fireworks going off in that area over the past couple of months, which would be a police matter. Please call 911 while this is occurring. I will also forward this issue to Hammond Police Department - Community Affairs.

Environmental 1 assigned this issue to Capt Alcox HPD Community Affairs

Capt Alcox HPD Community Affairs assigned this issue to Sgt. Butch Logan

Please call 911 while this is occurring. I will also let Patrol know so that a squad can be in the area.

Last night's around 11:19 sounded like a rifle shot, but it was only 1 and by the time we managed to get through to 911 and answer all their questions it would have been pointless to call. We have called in the past and by the time an officer is actually dispatched it's just not even worth the time or hassel to call. Totally not PD's fault, but the dispatching since it was moved out to county is just a hassle.

How is this closed ? Nothing has been addressed. The issue is the firework, explosion or what ever is once and calling the cops to come an hour later to find a noise we have no idea where it came from the one time is not a solution. Was reported reported almost a month ago and ongoing issue. Pretty much every other day or two. Now twice a night.

Please find a solution that is actually pratical. We need to sleep and not get scared to death woken up in the middle of the night. You have over 6 people complaining in the comments. Would you say to call 911 if it was your butt getting woken up every night by one bang as this wouldn't solve the problem. Cops would ticket us up for wasting thier time when they could be saving lives ect.

1:43 AM ....2 booms and at 1:44 am another louder one Early Friday morning

1:44 am heard 3 loud BOOM'S again what's going on here

Omg this is getting scary my kid's & myself are scared I ran outside to check but as I camenback in the 3rd one hit I fell it was so hard & loud hammond police please help figure this out

Those booms are so loud and strong they shake the ground like a gas explosion. No firework can shake homes from a large distance .

Officers have been advised and I have had an officer who heard the boom but was unable to determine where it came from at this time.

Just heard it was really loud tonight while in the house watching tv.

We now believe that the booms are fireworks coming from a vehicle. Its possibly a GMC or Chevy truck 2 tone with a metal tool box in the bed.
