Discharge of a Firearm Into an Occupied Structure

Philadelphia-wide historical result

January 1, 2025 – July 24, 2026

Charges seen for this offense: 107. With a recorded final outcome: 27; those records make up the figures below.

These figures summarize criminal cases filed on or after January 1, 2025 in Philadelphia's Municipal Court and Court of Common Pleas, with disposition or sentencing events on or after that date. Only charges with a recorded final outcome are included, and collection is ongoing: the figures reflect records collected so far, not every Philadelphia criminal case.

These figures come from a small number of records. With so little data behind them, the percentages can shift noticeably as more records are added, so read them as a rough summary rather than a settled pattern.
