"It is very rampant and it's very much an issue. Unfortunately, with social networking and the way kids are talking to one another, they avoid the police. Because when they hear the police, they socially move to another location," commented State Representative Mike Ramone.Delaware State Police say about 100 cars were on Bear Corbitt Road when gunshots rang out.
