This could go on indefinitely... Unless you evacuate the whole city and use some kind of thermal scanning to know where the shots were coming from... but you can't leave the city evacuated forever! I don't see any solution...

I am sure that you have heard of the Second World War. How many thousands of villages, towns, cities did we take. Many, many, of them being street to street fighting, up to and including Germany proper.
