You may see three marker types on the map: 

- Orange markers show confirmed gunfire calls where no one was hurt
- Black markers show shootings where someone was wounded
- Red markers indicate fatal shootings

When police are unable to find a victim, they generally consider a gunfire report to have been confirmed when there is 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 2025, Berkeley had [15 shootings](https://www.berkeleyscanner.com/2025/06/02/shootings/berkeley-gunfire-map-shootings-2025/). Only one, by police, resulted in injuries.
