There is no need or reason to shoot Crows if they bother you, period, especially at dawn and dusk. Ironically the feared Halloween icons are an incredibly fearful sort.
Crows cannot see well at all in the dark, and they are terrified of the dark. More precisely, they are afraid of nocturnal predators, namely cats, and owls. In fact, if you want them to leave your city space, you might simply try installing a few lights out in the forest for them where you usually see them during the day. But a much cheaper option would be to turn off the city lights, at least for a few days, until the Crows find a new night roost, which they will.
A light near their day time roosting trees can be dim. Animals that hunt at night have reflective eyes which glow brightly, as they do in a car's headlights, and are easily detected by a Crow in the dark, if even a dim light source exists.
However, you want to scare some Crows away, say from your building, on the ultra cheap, it is easily done by making some simple, crafty, Halloween eyes. Cut two small circular holes into a toilet paper tube. Place a glow light tube inside, and seal the two ends, and voila! Cat's eyes. Or Owl's. Put these in dark places where your problem Crows roost at night, and off they will go to find a new hotel PDQ.
At least, that's my theory. Let me know how it works.
