By Howard Monroe, CBS Philadelphia September 15, 2021 PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — After multiple people were shot at a Center City Airbnb party over the summer, neighbors and city councilmembers were successful in getting it shut down. That shooting happened in mid-August and other nuisance Airbnbs could also be shut down. That area, 13th street between Pine and Lombard Streets, is a very busy part of the city, but it all came to a standstill when dozens of shots were fired into a crowd. "We had 61 bullets, I think was the final number here," Peter Joly said. "Nuts. Nuts."
