The Berkeley Scanner has created a comprehensive interactive gunfire map so you can stay informed about shootings in the city and your neighborhood.

Berkeley had [31 shootings](https://www.berkeleyscanner.com/topic/shootings/) in 2024 leaving three people dead and seven wounded.

The Berkeley Scanner updated this map throughout the year when new shootings took place. Please [let us know](https://www.berkeleyscanner.com/tips/) if something happens in your neighborhood.

There were [35 shootings](https://www.berkeleyscanner.com/2023/12/06/shootings/berkeley-shootings-gunfire-map-2023/) in Berkeley last year, wounding eight people. There were also two fatal police shootings.

**See the [2025 Berkeley gunfire map](https://www.berkeleyscanner.com/2025/01/02/shootings/berkeley-gunfire-map-shootings-2025/) on TBS.**

There are three types of markers on the map: 

- Small orange markers show confirmed gunfire calls where no one was hurt
- Large black markers show shootings where someone was wounded
- Large red markers indicate fatal shootings

When police are unable to find a victim, they generally consider a gunfire report to have been confirmed when they find other evidence at the scene, such as bullet casings or property damage.

While Berkeley itself has no gunfire detection system, other nearby law enforcement agencies, including the Oakland Police Department and the University of California Police Department, use these systems to determine whether there was actual gunfire — versus something like fireworks or another type of explosion — and where the shooting was located.

Those systems at times provide useful information about shootings in Berkeley.

In 2023, Berkeley had [35 shootings](https://www.berkeleyscanner.com/2023/12/06/shootings/berkeley-shootings-gunfire-map-2023/) that wounded eight people.
