(PA) DA: ‘Zero tolerance’ for celebratory gunfire

[The Straight Story]

District Attorney Seth Williams and Police Commissioner Charles H. Ramsey warned people Friday morning not to be idiots by shooting guns in the air to celebrate New Year's Eve.

Joining them at a news conference was Joe Jaskolka, 24, who was 11 when he was struck in the head by a bullet in South Philly. The bullet is still lodged in Jaskolka's head, and he remains in a wheelchair.

Williams said authorities will have "zero tolerance" for anyone shooting off a gun to bring in the New Year.

Jaskolka, of North Wilmington, said he is working on a book, to be finished in a year or two, about his life and what happened to him about 12:05 a.m. Jan. 1, 1999.
